PREFACE.
Tue Delegates of the Clarendon Press have kindly consented to issue the description of the Persian
MSS.—the last sheet of which has just been printed off—as Part I of my complete ‘Catalogue of the
Persian, Turkish, Hindüstâni, and Pushtü MSS. in the Bodleian Library, in order to present this
volume in a handy form to the forthcoming eighth International Oriental Congress at Stockholm and
Christiania. Part II, which is in a forward state of preparation, will contain—(1) the description of the
Turkish, Hindüstâni, and Pushtü MSS. in the Bodleian; (2) a complete Index of the whole work (in
five distinct sections: index of titles, index of names of persons, index of geographical names and Ansâb,
general index of subjects, and index of dates or chronological register of historical and literary events) ;
(3) a full Conspectus Manuscriptorum ; and (4) an Introduction on the various collections of Muham-
madan MSS. in the Bodleian and their origin. Those MSS. which bear the pressmark ‘Ouseley’
were originally described by my learned friend Professor Sachau, of Berlin, but afterwards revised,
i.e. enlarged or curtailed (as the case might be), by myself, and amalgamated with the present Cata-
logue. Section D, ‘ Zoroastrian Literature, ete. is almost exclusively Professor Sachau's work, as very
few MSS. outside the Ouseley Collection belong to that older branch of Irânian literature.

ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA,
of 755); comp. also Schefer, Chrestomathie
Persane, ii. p. 6, where extracts from this
work are given.
Col. 164, 1. 43. Read انيب instead of
اتیب ۰
Col. 169, No. 313. The pressmark is to be
changed into ELLrorT 331.
Col. 175, No. 323. This work, which con-
tains besides a history of Shüstar, also a
detailed account of the author’s life and
travels, was written A.H. 1215-1216=A.D.
1800, 1801, see a full description of it in
Rieu i. p. 383.
Col. 187, No. 343. The proper title, ac-
cording to W. Pertsch, Berlin Catal., is
wk رف based on the twenty-
seventh book of Al-Bukhari.
Col. 188, No. 347. Read in the author’s
name Nizam-alfadli instead of al'akli;
comp. Rieu iii. p. 969.
Col. 191, No. 356. The pressmark is to be
changed into FRASER 96.
Col. 256 (No. 21). Read Turdi instead of
Tardi.
Col. 261, No. 383. Shaikh ‘Ali Hazin’s
autobiography was completed A.H.1154; see
Rieu i. p. 381.
Col. 287, 1. 7. The date for 'Işmat-allâh's
death, although distinctly given in the MS.
as stated, must needs be altered into A.H.
826 or 829, see p. 595, 1. 5 sq. in this Catal.
Col. 316, No.395. The statement, that the
Makhzan-algharâ'ib is the largest biogra-
phical dictionary of Persian poets, holds no
longer good, since in W. Pertsch, Berlin
Catal., p. 627 sq., a full list of the poets in
the Suhuf-i-Ibrahimi (by ‘Ali Ibrahimkhan
Khalil, the author of the Khulasat-alkalam,
No. 390) is given, which numbers 3278
(130 more than in the Makhzan).
Col. 319, 1.15. The statement that Amân-
allah Amani lived in Humâyün's reign, as
given in the Makhzan, cannot be right,
since the poet died as late as A.H. 1046
or 1044, see p. 683, last lines sq.
Col. 335 (No. 937). Read Muhammad
Kasim 2:071 instead of Razi (which is quite
distinct in the MS.), as the alphabetical
arrangement requires here ز as initial letter.
Col. 340, 1. 32. Read some other Sharif
instead of Shuhüdi.
Col. 354, 1. 28, Read Jabal instead of
Jabal.
Col. 369 (No, 2192). Read Kdfi instead of
Khâfi.
Col. 420, No. 439. The first missing leaf
of Ous. Add. 161 has been foundin a col-
lection of fragmentary pieces and inserted.
The copy therefore contains now 16
the first chapter begins on fol. 7°, the six-
teenth on fol. 214°, and the conclusion on
fol. 221°,
Col. 434,1. 6. Read ‘ younger brother’ in-
stead of friend.
bz
(PRELIMINARY LIST.)
Col. 101, ll. 1 and 2. The proper date is
1227 of the Faşli era=a.D. 1819, March
19; 1.6 ab infra, No. 179. The original de-
scription of this MS. by Prof. Sachau has
escaped a thorough revision, and several
manifest errors must consequently be recti-
fied here ; ll. 49 sq. mustrun thus: ‘stating,
that the oldest translation of the Wâki'ât-i-
Bâbari was made by Zain-aldin Khwâfi
(fol. 1°, 1. 1, who died A.H. مهو A. D. 1533,
1534; see Rieu iii. p. 926°), after whom
followed Mirzâ Pâyanda (so to be read
instead of Banida) Hasan Ghaznawi Farsi
(fol. 2”, 1. 2), who translated the first part of
these memoirs at the command of Mu'in-
aldin Bihrüzkhân, a son (not a ‘‘descend-
ant”) sq.;” comp. Rieu ii. p. 799.
Col. 102, 1: 6. Read Mu'in-aldin Bihraz-
khân's instead of Akbar’s.
Col. 104,1. 23. Read 3264 instead of 32.
Col. 105,1. 7 ab infra. Badâ'üni died A.H.
1004 or 1006=A.D. 1596 or 1598, not, as
stated in the text, A, H. 1024.
Col.117,1.8 ab infra. Read Begam instead
of Begum.
Col. 123, No. 237. The proper title of this
work, according to Rieu i. p. 261, is
Ts
yasi; 1. 13, read ‘Abd-alhamid instead
of Abü-alhamid.
Col. 124, 1. 24. Read Haidari instead of
Haidari.
Col. 127, No. 243. Morley's statement,
repeated here, that the work was composed
in the ‘ thirty-second year of the emperor’s
reign’ (=A.H. 1100) is wrong, since the
author, according to Rieu iii. p. 1083”, died
already A.H. 1092 = A.D. 1681. No. 245:
The Lubb-altawârikh was composed A.H.
1106 < ۸:۲۰ 1694, 1695; see Rieu i. p, 228 sq.,
and the India Office copies.
Col. 128, ll. 27, 29, and 35. Read خضر
instead of ضر
Col. 129, No. 246. The Khulâşat-altawâ-
rikh was completed in the fortieth year of
“Âlamgir's reign, but the bulk of tbe his-
tory only goes down to the death of Prince
Dârâ Shuküh and “Âlamgir's accession; see
Rieu i. p. 230.
Col. 138, 1. 28. Read Yahyâ instead of
Yahya.
Col. 139,1. 20. Read Kdyath instead of
Kaitah.
Col. 141, No. 266. Read simply Shah
‘Alam instead of Shah ‘Alam 11 last line,
read wives instead of women.
Col. 150, No. 285. Comp. also Rieu ii.
p. 811°.
Col. 153,11. 17 and 38. Read 1629 instead
of 1628.
Col. 161, No. 308. A joint author of the
Arabic original was Abt) Muhammad ‘Abd-
allah bin Labari (see Rieu i. p. 333, where
as year of completion is given 757 instead
Column 21, line 34. Read Garshdsp in-
stead of Gurshâsp.
Col. 22. No, 33 is not the 5 التوارد $35
of Hafiz Abrü, but merely the geographical
work of the same author, described in Rieu i.
. 421 ۰
Col. 23,1. 4 ab infra. “Ali Yazdi's Zafar-
nama. According to Rieu i. p. 423, it is
undoubtedly Nizamshâhi's earlier work of
the same title.
Col. 29,1. 2. Read Sir William Chambers
instead of Jumpers.
Col.31,1.1. Read ¥asuf instead of Yusuf;
the same correction applies to coll. 59, 1. 3;
62, 1.36; 63, 11. 23 and 30; and 93, 1.14.
Col. 34, No. 71. The three leaves missing
in Ouseley Add. 163 (v—3) have been found
in a collection of fragmentary pieces and
inserted between ff. 6 and 7. The copy has
therefore now Ff. 546.
Col. 43, No. 97 (General History). This is
the Ta'rikh-i-Ibrâhimi by Ibrahim bin
Jarir, as a comparison with the India Office
copies has shown; comp. also Rieu iii. pp.
10133 and 10469, and Elliot, History of
India, iv.p. 213sg. The history goes down
to A.H. 956 or 957 =A. D. 1549, 1550.
Col. 50, No. 102; comp. for the Subh-i-
Sadik also Rieu ii. p. 889.
Col. 54, last line. Read Muhammad
Bakhsh instead of Baksh.
Col. 55, No. 114. The Mirât-al'âlam,
usually ascribed to Muhammad Bakhtâwar-
khan, is in reality the work of Shaikh Mu-
hammad Baka; comp. Rieu, loc. cit.
Col.59,1.7. Read‘ Ali Wirdikhân instead
of Wardikhan.
Col. 60, ll. 6 and 5 ab infra. Read Dauhah
I-III, on fol. 271P; IV, on fol. 272%; V
and VI, on fol. 279P; the rest not marked,
instead of Dauhah I (on fol. 271). Comp.
about the Hadikat-alsafa also Rieu ii. pp.
872», and iii. p. 1096". In the last line
read Caghatdi instead of Cagatai; the
same correction applies to coll. 68, ll. 24
and 25, and 91, 1. 5 ab infra.
Col. 61, 11. 37. Read 1067 instead of 1068 ;
1. 46, read 1124 instead of 1125.
Col. 68, 1.15 and 16. ۰ Kabaéa drowned
A.H. 622;’ so distinctly in the MS.; the
usual date given is 625.
Col. 82, Nos. 141 and 142 (Matâli'-alan-
war). The India Office copies give the
author’s name as “Afif Nür-i-Kâshâni;
Rieu iii. p. 1037" has “Afif Nawâ Kashani.
Col. 85,1.39. Read Sarbadârians instead
of Sarbâdârians.
Col. 91,1. 4. Read the Ta'rikh-i-Ibrâhimi
instead of the anonymous chronicle, No. 97.
Col. 96. No. 170 is the Risâla-i-Râjâwali ;
see Rieu ii. p. 855.
Col. 98, No. 173. The pressmark is to be
changed into 11111017 9۰
Col. 99, No. 176. Comp. on the Ta'rikh-i-
Shirshâh, also Rieu ii. p. 827%.
ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA.
Col. 1128, No. 1985. One leaf, missing in
this fragment of the Gulistân, has been

The first volume contains the ante-Muhammadan

second brings the history down from the birth of
Muhammad to the death of Husain (4.4. 61); the
third is the continuation till the reign of Almuktafi-
billâh (A.H. 289-295). The last two chapters relate
the murder of Badr, the governor of Fârsistân, and
the struggle with Dhikrawaihi b. Mihrawaihi, the chief
of the Karmats (A.H. 294).
Then follows on fol. 5522 a concluding chapter of
the translator about the end of Dhikrawaihi, the death
of Almuktafi, and the succession of his brother Almuk-

This copy contains two introductions and an addition.

(sic) 0. On fol. 417> are written several chrono-
grams. On the first page there are three seals,
probably containing the names of former possessors.
The first volume and ff. rrr—vo of the second seem to
be written by one hand; the remainder of the second
volume, ff. ۳٥٣-۴۱۵, formed originally a part of another
considerably older manuscript. The handwriting of
this portion is likewise Naskhi, but the paper is of a
darker colour, and the single pages are bordered by two
red lines. After it was bound together with the more
recent part, a new pagination was put over the leaves,
and the old numbers cancelled. Of the original MS.
this portion was ff. rrv—rat.
This oldest MS., however, does not seem to have
been complete, because after fol. 415 there is an
abrupt break in the chronicle, and on the following
last two folios, 416, 417, a more recent hand has con-
tinued the history by short notes relating to the
succeeding Khalifs,
There seem to be at least two lacunas in this older
part; at the same time the leaves are wrongly bound
together. The proper arrangement of the leaves is
this: ۳۹۴, ۳۹۵-۴۰, (395-400 are bound after rir), th. i.

From this table of contents it will appear that this
MS. contains portions of a most valuable work, which
seems to be entirely unknown. These portions are not
very judiciously selected; in several places the order is
disturbed, and quite incoherent parts are put together,
as if the copyist has wished to conceal the lacunas of
the book.
The author quotes in several places Abü-Raihân
Albirtini (on ff. 179, 217, from the latter passage it is
evident that Kardizi was acquainted with, and probably
a pupil of Birüni, who died A.H. 440; it runs thus:

The arrangement of the single chapters (here they
are not called Tabakah) is somewhat different from the
original; besides the compiler had made three addi-
tions, and in some places the MS. has lacunas (there are
left blank ff. 22, 23, 30% (for the greater part), 30>, 31,
98>, 100, ror, and a part of 1424), Compared with
the original the order is this : I, II (the greater part),

VII-XII, XVII-XXII, XIII-XVI, additions (on
ff. 1309-1344, and ff. 1342-142); XXIII, addition.
Missing is the history of the descendants of ‘Ali (II)
and of the Bani Umayyah (III).
The additions are:

PP: 354-392.
b (ff. 130°-1342). End of the history of the Khwârizm-

from the Ta'rikh-i-Jahânkushâ, the author of which
died A.K. 681.

their history from Hasan Sabah to Rukn-aldin Khâ-

with that in the fourth volume of the Raudat-alşafâ,

The chronological order is for the greater part
identical with that in Tabari (comp. Morley, p. 19); the
accounts of a dynasty or nation are frequently split into
several portions, intermixed with reports of contempo-
rary events in other countries.
Immediately after the preface of five lines the history
begins in the following order :
History of Adam, Eve, and their posterity as intro-
duction (fol. 1»).

Fol. 2932. Humâyün; the last date which occurs is
A.H. 957. The last is a report of his coming to Kabul
and paying a visit to the grave of his father Babar.
Regarding the author we have to make the following
statements :
a, After having reported the death of Shah Ismail,
A.H. 930, he says that Shah Tahmasp ruled over Shir-
win, Âdharbaijân, Fars, 'Irâk-i-Ajam, “Irâk-i “Arab,
and most of Khurâsân at the time when he wrote this.
See fol. 25637 ۰
b. Humâyün (died A.H. 963) was still alive when this
was written ; as to his name, there is always added
الله ملکه oie.
Accordingly we get the years A.H. 951-963=
A.D. 1544-1556 as the time during which this chro-
nicle was finished. However, there is some evidence
which induces us to suppose that the author did not
write at a later time than A.H. 958; for in enumerating
the sons of Akbar (on fol. 2934) he makes the usual
additions to the name of Humâyün, the then emperor,
but none whatever to the names of his three brothers,
Kamran, ‘Askari, and Hindal.
Now, as regards Kamran and ‘Askari, this would not
be surprising, since they were mostly in rebellion against
their brother the emperor, whose loyal subject the
author was. Hindal, however, fell in the year A.H. 958,
gallantly fighting for the emperor against the tribe
Khalil ; and if our author had written after this event,
it would have been extremely disloyal not to add to
Hindal’s name an 333, alll ,انار or some similar
phrase. Comp. Elphinstone, Hibe of India, 5th
edition, p. 470.
This chronicle, though on the whole too brief, is very
remarkable for its particulars and its accuracy in the
chronological part. Some of the works and authors

General history.
A work on general Muhammadan history till the
beginning of the eleventh century. Neither its title
nor its author’s name is to be found anywhere, the first
leaves being wanting. It appears to have been com-
posed during Jahangir’s reign, since it concludes with
A.H, 1020=A.D. 1611, on fol. 370% (370? being left
blank).
The MS. opens in the middle of a very disordered

its materials are arranged in the following manner :
Till fol. 226 each principal section begins without a
heading, only with the word ,ذکر and contains several
subdivisions, styled ,طبقه 33,5, jos, Ob, 5, ete.
This whole part, we suppose, is the first book (باب اول)
of the work; see here a detailed table of contents :

with SLs (after fol. 2 a lacuna).
The early kings of Persia, in four tabakât, on fol. 74.

After a blank page begins on fol. 371 a new fasl,
which probably belongs to a third book, containing the
history of the Safawi dynasty; it closes in the com-
mencement of the reign of Shah ‘Abbas, A.H. 998=
A.D. 1590. Therefore, we suppose, the author died a
little after A.H. 1020, before he could continue the
history of the Safawis down to the same point where
he had broken off the description of Jahangir’s
exploits.

Sayyid Hafiz Ma'şüm with the Takhallus Saki, and that
the date of the completion of the work itself is em-
bodied in the words خاتمة کلام (i.e. 1137).

Accordingly this copy was finished on Wednesday,
the 5th Rabi‘ I (N.B. Exactly the same day when the
author finished his work) ; the year, however, when this
took place is not mentioned. Secondly, this copy was
made for one Kipdâk-Khân Bahadur (probably the
author himself).
We think it most likely that these two notes are
simply transferred from an older MS., and must
remark that these two volumes bear in all externals
(as paper, writing, etc.) the greatest likeness to those
copies, made by ‘Abd-alrazzik (comp. Ouseley 53,

We learn from the preface and conclusion the following
particulars regarding the author’s life: He was a native
of Balkh, came to India A.H. 1107, and resided at Lâhür,
where he was in connection with ‘Abd-alsamad Khan,
governor of the Panjab under the emperor Farrukhsiyar
about A.H. 1125; he was from his early days given up
to reading old chronicles, and resolved to compose this
book, which he finished A.H. 1137, the 5th Rabi‘ I=
A.D. 1724, November, after six years’ work (vol. TI,
fol. 296; vol. I, fol. 3%). He does not give a review of
his sources; in vol. IT, fol. 296>, he mentions the

guence of a troublesome illness he could not continue
the history of the Moghul emperors down to Ah-
madshah (deposed 1167), “Alamgir II (died 1173), and
Shah ‘Alam, who reigned when the author wrote.
Probably the same illness is the reason that he did
not finish this work before a. H. 1184=A.D. 1770,
fourteen years after having commenced it, and eleven
years after having written the memoir on ‘Ali Hazin in
the last part of the conclusion.
Although this work (especially in the first volume)
is very brief and comprehensive, and the single dynas-
ties usually occupy only one or two leaves, it is very
remarkable for its extremely accurate chronology and
its particular notices on the learned men, poets, etc. of
the single epochs. More detailed are the second and
third volume, the latter of which is written totally on
the basis of Firishta’s famous History of India, agreeing
with that in the whole arrangement and even in the
single phrases. The biographical dictionary of poets at
the end is a valuable enrichment of the list of tadh-
kiras given in Sprenger’s Catal. Oudh.

Fragments of an anonymous general history.
Some confusedly-mixed fragments of a universal
history, without title or introduction. Most of the
dates are omitted. There is no strict chronological
order in the single pieces; for instance, the MS. begins
with the year of the Rihlat 135 (see No. 99)=A. D. 762,
on fol. 1», but on fol. 2b there occurs already A.H. 329=
A.D. 940; ff. 14>-22 contain a part of Cingizkhan’s
history down to A.H. 683 —A.D. 1284; parts of the his-
tory of the first Ghaznawide and Saljfikide Sultans are
found on 101: 22۳ sq.; Sultân Sanjar’s exploits are related
on fol. 50> sq.; the wazir Nizâm-almulk and the year
485=A. D. 1092 occur on fol. 64>; the history of the
Khwarizmshah Atsiz bin Muhammad is found on fol.
87; on fol. 93» the death of Abü-alkâsim Mahmüd bin
‘Umar bin Muhammad Zamakhshari, the author of the
Kashshaf, in A, H. 538—A.D. 1143, is mentioned; two
pages further on, on fol. 94, we find the year 462=
A.D. 1069, etc. ete.
The chief authority to which the unknown author of
these fragments refers is the Ta'rikh-i-Ibn Athir ; see,
for instance, fol. 164, Il. 15 and 16; fol. 29», 1. 22; fol.

The Arabic original is composed by Abi Muhammad
Ahmad bin A'tham Alküfi احمد بن اعشم) sos? ابو
۱: see fol. 32, 1. 5 abinfra; fol.3b,1.15; fol. 3975);
the first part (fol. 3, 1. 158-494, 1. 3 ab infra) was trans-
lated into Persian by Muhammad b. Ahmad Almustaufi
Alharawi (fol. 3», 1. 3; fol. 49», 1. 4) after ۸۰۲۲, 596=
A.D. 1199, chiefly encouraged and assisted by a noble-
man of Khwârizm and Khurâsân (fol. 2a, 1.13; fol.
49>, 1. 1), whom he loads with epithets without giving
his name; the names of other friends of his he enume-
rates on fol. 32. The whole remaining part was translated
by Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Abi Bakr Alkatib Alma-
barnabadi (see fol. 49, 1. 21; fol. 2, 1. 4, this latter
passage is corrupt, likewise in Ous. 170, fol. 24, 1. 8).
He states in a special report, on fol. 494-500, that
Almustaufi died (fol. 49>, 1. 13), that he was asked to
complete the work on different principles, viz. simpli-
fying the style and omitting a great deal of the poetry
of the Arabic original (see fol. 50%, Il. 6-8), and that he
continued the work where Almustaufi had left it. Title
فلع کرد ae د معمد بن احمد : of his translation
الکاتب از فتوح اعثم کوفی )> الله قصه هلقام دن للرث
(fol. 50°). .
H. Khalfa mentions this work, its author and first
translator, in two places: iv. pp. 380 and 385. In the
former he states that Abü Muhammad wrote his work
A.H. 1003=A.D. 1594, which isa very strange mistake.
Of the translator he does not give any date.
Almustaufi relates in the preface (fol. 2», 11. 10 sq.)
that he met with his generous protector A.H. 596=
A.D. 1199, and accompanied him to Züzan, a district
between Harât and Nishâpür, after which he began with
his translation.

A rather defective copy of the Persian paraphrase of
Muhammad ibn Ishak Almuttalibi’s biography of the
Prophet, written in Arabic, and styled النبی yes. The
author of this Persian adaptation was then travelling in
Syria, and going to visit Jerusalem, when he heard of
this valuable and important Arabic work. Consequently
he went to Egypt, and there, in the Meili of two of the
most famous Kadis, اما الدین ادن حیّان and امام

having returned to Persia, he entered into the service

the second half of the first bâb in the Raudat-alshuhadâ

rest of the first and the whole of the second bab no

A work of similar character as the Dah Majlis, and
based, as it seems, for its chief parts also on the Raudat-
alshuhadâ, beginning: ... ای احد قدیم وای صمد واجب
.وای قادرلم یزل ولا یزال الهی +عرمت ذات قدیمت BI
It treats of the martyrdom of prophets and saints,
especially of Muhammad, ‘Ali, and the martyrs of Kar-
bala, Hasan, Husain, ete. ete. It is also divided into
several majlis :
The first majlis is not marked at all, and seems to
be a kind of preliminary discourse on the troubles of
all prophets ete, since Adam.
The second majlis contains the story of Muhammad’s
death, on fol. 148 الرسلین) a (در وفات that is to say,
the same as the third bab of the Raudat and the third
majlis of the Dah Majlis.
The third majlis gives an account of Fatimah and
her death, on fol. 384 (1,2; ز(در وفات فاطمة comp. the
fourth bab of the Raudat and the fourth of the Dah
Majlis.
The fourth majlis relates ‘Ali’s martyrdom, on fol.
54۶ طالب) ol مقتل امیر الومنین علی بن ,3), corres-
ponding to the fifth bâb of the Raudat and the fifth of
the Dah Majlis.
The fifth majlis tells us how Hasan died as martyr,

In this MS. we have to distinguish two parts : an old
part, in small but clear Nasta'lik, ff کت 10°-337>; anda
more recent one on ff. ,راوه و د in more cursive Nas-
talik. They seem originally to have formed one work,
but there is no immediate connexion between them.
Part I: ۰
A history of the Moghul race, beginning with Adam,
deriving the Moghuls from Yâfet, and expounding the
genealogy and history of Cingizkhân, Timür, and their
descendants, particularly of the Moghul emperors of
India as far down as Muhammad Shah, A.H. 1131—
1161—A.D. 1719-1748, with especial regard to all the
notorious princes of this dynasty.
The author is Hâji Mir Muhammad Salim (fol. 3»,
1. 13), who dedicated his work to Muhammad Shah
(fol. 32, lin. pen., Abü-alfath Nasir-aldin Muhammad
Shah). He relates in the preface (fol. 49) that he left
his native country A.H. 1123 —A.D. 1711; first he
went to Persia, where he was recommended by some
preface, two sections (sJlix), ten chapters (WL), and
an epilogue; but of this division nothing is found in
the text; moreover the copy is incomplete at the end.

was born about A. H. 684, and after having brought
his work down to A.H. 758, he abandoned it, and left it
unfinished. The history of Firüzshâh's reign was after-
wards continued, and finished by Shams-i-Sirâj “Afif,
who also entitled his book Ta'rikh-i-Firüzshâhi; but
this latter work, which often is confounded with Diya-

Wâki'ât-i-Bâbari (spb .(واقعات
The memoirs of the emperor Babar, extending from
A.H. 899-935 =A.D. 1493-1528 (not without consider-
able intermissions), originally composed in Caghatâi,
afterwards translated into Persian. They were rendered
into English by J. Leyden and W. Erskine in ‘ Memoirs
of Zehir-ed-din Muhammed Baber,’ London, 1826; 2nd
ed. 1844, and by M. Caldecott, ‘ Life of Baber, abridged
from the Memoirs of Zehir-ed-din Muhammed Baber,’
London, 1844; see “A Critical Essay, pp. 36, 58,
Hammer-Purgstall, Geschichte der schénen Redekiinste
Persiens, p. 372. A Latin translation is mentioned in
“Das Asiatische Museum,’ by B. Dorn, م 121; H. Khalfa
vi. p. 420. The original Caghatâi text of these memoirs
has been published by Ilminski, Kasan, 1857; and an
excellent French translation of that was made by Pavet
de Courteille, ‘ Mémoires de Baber,’ Paris, 1871, in two
vols,
This translation consists of two different parts, which
are wrongly bound, so that the second part occupies
ff. 16-1602; the first, ff. ۲63-2۰
The first part (ff. 1632-231») comprises the years
A.H. 899-906, and corresponds in Erskine’s translation
to pp. 1-94, 1. 24 (‘remained in the fortress,’ در قلعه
sl), beginning: مخفی ومستور ple ارباب pies 2
.نماند که حضرت پادشاه فردوس ی دت اسان JI
Then follows, on ff. 231>-232, a short enumeration
(of the translator?) of those years not recorded by
Babar himself.
The second part (ff. 2, 1. 3 ab inf. to 160») gives the
years 906-935, corresponding to Erskine, p. 94, I. 21

Accordingly there is something wanting at the end
of this copy‘ (Erskine, p. 422, line 6, to p. 425); besides
(on fol. 125%) the years A. H. 925 to 932 (Erskine, p. 272,
line 25, to p. 343), and the end of the years A.H. 933
and 934 (Erskine, p. 353, line 12, to p. 382), between
ff. 131 and 132. Vice versa we find on ff. 1014, line 7,
till 103, after the fragment of A.H. 914 (Erskine,
۲۰ 235), a chapter which we do not find in Erskine’s
translation.
To the second part is prefixed a preface, on ff. اعدا
line 13, stating that the first part was translated by
Shaikh Zain (fol. ıb, 1.1.), or Mirza Banida Hasan

time, and very interesting specimens from the ۹76
of celebrated poets. This history, generally known as

HISTORY.

حسب الطاقت صرف همت نموده بتقصير رافی نشده
After this there follows a continuation on ff. 310,
11.3, to 351, giving a brief account of the death of Akbar,
of Jahângir's succession, of the enthronization of Shâh-
jahan, A. H. 1037 (fol. 345); then the dates when the
princes Dara Shuküh, Shujâ', Aurangzib, and Murâd
were born; and, lastly, the same concerning the
brothers of Shâhjahân, the princes Shâh Murâd, Daniel,
Khusrau, Parwiz (along with the date of his death,
A.H. 1036); of the blinding of Kâmrân Mirzâ, the
brother of Humâyün, A.H. 961; and of the birth of
prince Khânam ,(خانم) A. 1 977.
This continuation, the author of which is not stated’,
consists of little more than dates. The latest date
which we find is A.H. 1044 (on fol. 334)=A.D. 1634.
Accordingly we are at liberty to suppose that this
addition was made by ‘Abd-alhakk himself, since he was
still alive A.H. 1047 (according to Rieu i. p. 14, he died
A.H.1052). The style of this work is highly distinguished
from that of almost all similar compositions: it is en-
tirely free from the usual bombast; precise, without
being obscure ; simple, without being dry.

ought to have been immediately joined to the preceding
lines (comp. Elliot 44, fol. 302), there is a large portion
of history, not in its right place. These interpolated
and confused pieces belong to the second book of the
Akbar-nâma, and their order is as follows:

words نای کردد and آغاز سال on fol. 198, 1. 4 (agreeing

there are wanting only three unimportant lines.

A general history “of the Muhammadan dynasties of
India, imperfect at the beginning and end, but un-
doubtedly—as a comparison with Elliot, History of

fly-leaves and in the colophon corroborates—identical
with the Lubb-altawârikh-i-Hind, by Bindraban, son
of Rai Bhârâmal; comp, also Rieu i. p. 228.
In the MS, we have to distinguish between an old part
and later additions, apparently made with the view of
giving the MS. the appearance of a complete work ;
they are made at random, not very judiciously, and are
gathered from different sources. The author of these
additions cannot be acquitted of the charge of fraud, as
he has in several places put at the bottom of the pages
those words which are a general mark of the connection,
whilst there is in fact no connection whatever. This
seems to betray that he calculated to take in hasty
readers, or to sell a fragment of a chronicle as a com-
plete work.
We shall first describe the genuine part, which begins
with the inroads of the Moghuls under ‘Ala-aldin Khilji

A history of the first two years of the reign of the em-
peror Kutb-aldin Muhammad Abü-alnaşr Shah “Alam
Bahadurshah (see this complete name, fol. 1 1b, 1. 10), Au-
rangzib’s son, who ruled A.H.1119—1124—A.D. 1707—
1712, written by Mukarrabkhan, called Danishmand-
khan (as a note on fol. 18 relates). This is the same
author who is also well known as a poet under the title
of Ni‘matkhan (see A. Sprenger, Catal., p.328,and Rieu 1.
p- 272). His name was originally Nür-aldin Muhammad,
of a Shiraz family, and his takhallus ‘Ali. This history
of Bahadur is detailed in the highest degree, narrating
events from month to month, sometimes even from day to
day, and gives a great quantity of most interesting special
notices on the little events of the imperial court and the
great and important transactions and deeds of Bahadur.
It opens with his accession to the throne (the ta'rikh on
fol. 129, 1, 12, gives the date as A. H. 1119—A.D. 1707,
امد AS رحمت ale (در and the civil war between

Muntakhab-allubâb اللباب) os),
Part of the well-known history of the Moghul em-
perors of India, composed by Muhammad Hashim “Ali-
khan, who is commonly called Khâfikhân, and entitled
Muntakhab-allubab, or Ta'rikh-i-Muntakhab, or simply
Ta'rikh-i-Khâfikhân; comp. Rieu 1, p. 232. As Morley,
p- 100, and Nassau Lees, Materials, p. 465 sq., state, Kha-
fikhan wrote his work, containing a complete history of
the house of Timür, in the last years of Aurangzib’s
reign, but did not publish it until A.H. 1145 =A. ۰
1732, after having brought it down to the fourteenth
year of Muhammadshâh's reign. There seem to be
different redactions of this ta'rikb, as we conclude
both from a remark of Nassau Lees, who says, on fol.
4688, “No two copies that I have met with are
exactly alike, while some present such dissimilarities as
almost to warrant the supposition that they are distinct
works,’ and from the great difference existing in the
arrangement of the single copies known to us. Accord-
ing to Morley the ta'rikh is subdivided into three
portions, the first of which goes down to A.H. 1067, the
second to 1118, the third to 1145. But this copy and
the two following ones, too, are styled in the preface the
second volume (4 ab ثانی ste), chiefly com-
prising the history of two~hundred lunar years, viz. from
Bâbar's occupation of India, A.K. 932 (the thirty-third
year of his reign), till A.u.1133 (the third year of the
reign of Muhammadshâh). The first volume, which is
wanting in all our Bodleian copies, contains, as we
learn from the beginning of the preface of this second

Maâthir-i-Mahmüdshâhi معمودشاهی) pl).
A very valuable and detailed history of the reign of
“Alâ-aldunyah wa aldin Abâ-almuzaffar Mahmudshah
Sultân alkhilji, the king of Mâlwah, over which -he
ruled from the 2gth of Shawwal, a. ۰ 839=A.D. 1436,

the Rise, ete., London, 1829, vol. iv. pp. 195-235, by
‘Ali ibn Mahmid alkirmani, with the epithet Shihab
Hakim, who was in the service of Mahmüdshâh, and
wrote this work after the king’s death at the command
of his son and successor Sultân Ghiyâth-aldunyah wa
aldin Muhammad, A.H. 873-906. This work is the
more important as there are not to be found in any
catalogue other special histories of the dynasty of Mal-
wah and particularly of Mahmüdshâh; on the other
hand, this is perhaps the only copy we have got of it.
It is a little defective at the beginning, one or two
leaves of the preface being wanting. It opens with the
words در SG ee شناختش بی تشبیه و تمثیل
Fi «حکمت بالغه زمر جانربای يا ترياك رو افزای
After the introduction, which contains a long kaşidah
in honour of the late Makmüdshâh, the work itself
begins with a summary of the events which preceded
Mahmüd's accession to the throne, especially under
Sultân Hüsbang (A.H. 808-835) and Muhammadshah
(4.8. 835-839), on ff. 32> and 542. Beginning of

History of the ‘Adilshahs of Bijâpür and some of
the contemporary minor dynasties of India, especially
the Bahmanis of the Dakhan, the kings of Gujarat, the
Nizâmshâhis of Ahmadnagar and the Kutbshahis of
Gulkundah, together with a comprehensive account of
the Moghul emperors Babar, Humâyün and Akbar, and
the Safawi kings of Persia from Tahmâsp to ‘Abbas the
Great, compiled by Rafi‘ of Shiraz (otherwise called
Mir Rafi'-aldin Shirazi) at Bijâpür during the reign of
the Shah Ibrahim ‘Adilshah bin Shah Tahmâsp bin
Shah Ibrahim, who reigned from A.H. 488 to 1036—A.n.
1580-1626. The author was born ۸:1۰ 947 —A.D.1540,
and from his twentieth year was in the service of the
“Adilshâhs, at first in Shah “Ali's, and later on in Shah
Ibrâhim's. In his seventieth year, A.H. 1017 (in the
month Ramadan)=a.p, 1608, December, after having
been occupied for a longer time with compiling an
abridgment of general history from the first six yolumes
of Mirkhwând's Raudat-alşafâ and the seventh volume
of Khwandamir’s Habib-alsiyar (this means, probably,
the fourth chapter of the third volume of that work),
he began this very instructive but somewhat confusedly
arranged history, and completed it after three years’
hard labour, as it seems, A.H. 1020—A.D. 1611, for
this date is the last which occurs; see fol. 216», last
line. It is quoted as one of his principal sources by

Accordingly our copy does not extend as far as
Riew’s, which concludes with Mir Muhammad Ja'far-
khan’s accession. This history corresponds, more or
less accurately, with the report about the same period,
given in Siyar-almuta'akhkhirin (pp. av—-14., Calcutta
ed. A.H. 1248—A.D. 1832). As very often even the
wording is identical with this latter work, we suppose
that it is an extract from it.

second, who ruled over Persia A. H. 1052-1077 =A.D.
1642-1666, from his birth to the fourteenth or fifteenth
year of his reign, by the well-known poet Mirza Muham-
mad Tahir Wahid ibn Mirzâ Husainkhân Kazwini, who
was the historiographer of Shah ‘Abbas IT; he rose to
the dignity of Wazir under his successor Shah Sulaiman,
and died, nearly a hundred years old, A.H. 1110—

to be عباس نامع : comp. Sprenger in the Manuscripts of
the late Sir H. Elliot, Journal of the As. Soc. of Bengal,

larger work on the Safawi kings generally, styled
e uel):
This history of Shah “Abbâs II begins (after an
elaborate preface) with the king’s birth, which is fixed
here in A.H. 1041; see fol. و108 1. 1, and a short account
of the first years of his life. His accession to the

The author's chief object, when he began his work,
was, there is no doubt, a history of his sovereign,
‘Abbas IT himself, to which the account of his ancestors
should only form an introduction ; but whether he ever
finished his task or not, we cannot decide.

is given thus:
Concerning the time of the author, we have to notice
that he states himself to have returned from Baghdâd
A.H. 606 (fol. 1); secondly, that he was acquainted
with Husâm-aldaulah Ardashir, who died a.H. 602 ; and
that in the middle of his work he gives A.m. 613 as
the time when he wrote (fol. 59). The very latest
date which one could assume for the author's death
would seem to be about A. H. 630-640. Here, however,
arises the difficulty already pointed out by B. Dorn
(p. 6), that in the work itself events of a much later
date are mentioned. The death of Fakhr-aldaulah
Hasan (A.H. 750) is reported on fol. 224», and the last
of the short chronological notes, appended at the end,
gives the date A.H. 842. The work must have been
continued by some one else, to whom the greater part
of the fourth book must be attributed. The first date
beyond the author's time seems to occur on fol. 213۳
ll. 3, 4, A.E. 658, when Isfahbad Shah Ghazi Rustam
died ; the heading of the chapter is درد ذکر وفات اصفېبد
الک ery .شاه غازی رستم However, in the following
part there may still be chapters from the pen of Mu-
hammad bin Alhasan’, or, at least, taken from his papers;
for instance, the chapter on Husâm-aldaulah Ardashir
(fol. 2153), A.H. 567-602.
The MS. is dated the rst Rabi‘, A.H. 1068=A.D.
1657, December 7th. Sir W. Ouseley acquired the MS.

This work is said to be the first Turkish history ever
written ; it is of great value and of rare occurrence, since
there are as yet known to exist in European libraries
only two complete copies of the Persian original, besides
our own, viz. in the British Museum and in Upsala.
At the beginning there is something wanting, probably
one leaf, but fortunately nothing of any importance.
Besides a few words are wanting on ff. 162 and 440.
Tt contains an introduction and eight books :

Another work of the same title, containing a history
of Kashmir from the earliest ages down to its conquest
by the emperor Akbar, compiled from the same old
Kashmirian chronicle of Râjatarangini and other
authentic documents, by Haidar ibn Hasan Malik ibn
Kamal-aldin Malik Muhammad Nâji of Cârwarah,
between A.H. 1027 and 1030= A.D. 1618-1621. The
author, a native of Kashmir and descendant of one of
the principal families of this country, dedicated his
work to the emperor Jahangir; comp. Rieu i. p. 297,

ascribed to the grandfather, Kamâl-aldin, instead of the
grandson, Haidar Malik.

History of Kashmir, composed by Badi'-aldin Abi-

son of Maulawi Muhammad A‘zam Kül, known as
Mustaghni (see fol. 5»), and dedicated to the emperor
Shah ‘Alam Bahadur Pâdishâh (A.D. 1759-1786), from
whom it has got the name نام عالم pag) (fol. rob, 1. 4)

see besides fol. gb, 1. 4; fol. 102, 11. 5 and ۰
The author Mun‘imi (fol. 1۹,1. 1) states in the
preface, on fol. 7>, that in his work the history of
Khwajah Muhammad A‘zam, the son of Khair-alzamân
Khan, which bears the title واقعات کی (contained in
the preceding copy), is reproduced with very few altera-
tions ; see ff. band 7>. ‘The author of the latter work,
we suppose, is Mun‘imi’s father, though he does not
say so.
He represents, like all his predecessors, the Rajataran-
gini as the source of all Kashmirian history ; itwas trans-
lated and, together with information derived from other
sources, edited by Mulla Husain Kâdiri, and after him
by Haidar Malik Hawar (حيدرملك حاور) See fol. 6۳,
1.7, and ll. 14, 15 (comp. No. 316). Besides he quotes
another work on Kashmirian history, composed by Nür-
aldin Wali, ‘in Kashmiri,’ بزیان کسمبری (see fol. 7 ult. ;
fol. 82, 1. 4 sg.); it is called .ور نامه A learned Kash-
mirian, Maulânâ Ahmad, a contemporary of Sultân
Zain-al‘abidin (A.D. 1423-1474), translated it into

That this latter chapter is not an appendix, but
belongs’ originally to the work, can be proved from the
sixth chapter (ثنای ششم) of the preface, where he
promises to give a refutation of the Râfidis at the end
of the work, on account of its being too large to be
contained in a chapter of the introduction (fol. gb, ll. 1, 2).
To this announcement he refers back at the beginning
of the last chapter, fol. 61°, 1, 10.

(ترجمة التکملت) Tarjumat-altakmilah
A collection of legends on eminent Muslims, dis-
tinguished by piety and learning. From the preface
we learn the following facts :
Shaikh ‘Abdallah bin As‘ad Alyâfi'i Alyamani, who
died A.H. 768 or 771=A.D. 1366 or 1369, composed
two works in Arabic on the same subject: one called
خلاصة الفاخرین (or الفاخر io, according to H. Khalfa
ii. 160), chiefly relating to Shaikh “Abd-alkâdir Jilâni
(who died ۸۰1۲, 561 —A.D. 1166); the other 0
الصاطین SLUG الریاحین فی Ley, which is noticed
by H. Khalfa iii. 488, and which was translated into
Turkish by Surüri. To this latter work the same
author composed a complement GL), and of this
complement the present work is the Persian transla-
tion. The translator first got acquainted with the
original at Madinah, and he undertook the translation
at the request of his teacher, (6,1 رستتد جلال الدین اوچه
and of several pious men of Yaman. The translator's
name is not mentioned in the book itself. It contains
200 legends (LIK).
H. Khalfa, iii. 8r, mentions a Persian collection of
legends of saints, رحکایات الصا ین by Shaikh ‘Uthman
bin ‘Umar Alkahf, divided into twenty babs, each bab
of ten hikâyât (that is, 200 legends). Possibly our

These notes, we must add, do not form part of the

We suppose the author collated them in his autograph
chiefly for his own information; likewise, perhaps, in
order to prepare himself for making the final edition of
his work.
(d) Additional notes, further explanations or correc-
tions of the facts told by Alghaffâri. They are all
subscribed by سعید ‘ Sa'id ;’ and this Sa'id is the same
Muhammad Said of whom it is stated on the fly-leaf
that he (a.H. 1142) got this book as a present (see
above). Besides we have a statement of his on fol. 3°,
under the text (small Shikasta), where he says that
the author has sometimes made mistakes, and that he,
the humble Sa'id (A. H. 1145), corrected them ; meaning
by this, we suppose, his marginal notes, because the
text of the present copy has not undergone any special
alteration, but agrees entirely with the other copy,
No. 339, which is dated A. H. 1077 (or 1078), therefore
previous to Sa'id for a long time.

name, but part of which is cut away :

This agrees almost literally with Firishta’s report
(see J. Briggs, History of the Rise, etc., vol. iii.

details from Firishta, or taken from the Ta’rikh-i-

of Malwah); the report, however, in this chronicle is

Biographies of the most famous wazirs from the
oldest times down to the reign of Sultân Husain Mirza,

dedicated to his master the great wazir Khyâjah
Kiwam-aldin Nizâm-almulk alkhwâfi, A.H. 883—A.n.
1478, 1479. This date we conjecture from the follow-
ing. passage on fol. 232, 1 4: حالا که سن ثلاث و

because there are guoted in the second makâlah, on fol.
234b, the years 871 and 872; on fol. 235 several times
the year 875. Consequently we suppose that the
transcriber omitted the number ثمانین between ثلاث

A large biographical work on all the Saints, Shaikhs,

the Muhammadans and the rise of the Islâm down to
the end of the tenth century of the Hijrah, by 'Abd-
alhakk bin Saif-aldin alturk aldihlawi albukhari, who,
according to the khâtimah, completed this work after
his journey to Hijâz, for which he had set out A.H. 996
—A.D. 1588; comp. Rieu i. p. 355. Except the first
shaikh and a few others, all the persons whose bio-
graphies are given belong to India; and the author
devoted his work to those exclusively, because there
were in his time many books on shaikhs of Arabia,
Persia, etc., but no book at all on the learned and wise
men of India. According to the index on fol. 122 this
work is divided into three tabakât: 1. The great
Shaikh Muhyi-aldin Abi Muhammad “Abd -alkâdir
alhasani aljilâni (whose elaborate biography begins on
fol. 13), his contemporaries and disciples. 2. Shaikh
Farid-alhakk wa aldin Ganj-i-Shakar ( pe 25), his
disciples and contemporaries. 3. From the “time of
Shaikh Nasir-aldin Mahmüd down to the author's

.(وفيات الاعیان فی انباء ابناء الزمان) Wafayât-ala'yân
Persian translation of the biographical work of Ibn
Khallikân (Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Ibrâhim bin
Abi Bakr), who finished it A.H. 672—A.D. 1273, and
died A,H. 681—A.D. 1282,
The Arabic original was edited by F. Wiistenfeld, ‘ Ibn
Challikani vitae illustrium virorum,' Göttingen, 1835—
1850, and translated into English by De Slane, 4 vols.,
Paris, 1842-1871.
This translation, comprising the vitae, Nos. ۱-۴
(first part), and Nos. r.o—or (second part), was made
by Kabir bin Uwais bin Muhammad Allatifi (fol. 2°,
1,1); he finished the first part in Constantinople on
the sth of Dhü-alka'dah, A.H. 926 < ۸۰۰ 1520,
October 17, and the second ۸۱1۰ 928=A.D. 1522 (here
the name of the month is omitted by a mistake). See
the colophons on the last page of the first part, No.
176», fol. ra, and fol. 245. Whether Kabir did ever
translate more than this, or whether this copy contains
only one part of his work, we cannot decide.
The translator died in Kâhirah A.H. 930=A.D.1524,
according to H. Khalfa vi. p. 455, whose notice we
quote at full length: ‘And Maulana Azhar-aldin
Alardabili translated it (viz. Ibn Khallikân's work)
into Persian, and he died in Kâhirah a.n. 930. And
1 saw a Persian composition by Kabir bin Uwais bin
Muhammad Allatifi, commonly known as Kâdizâda,
where he mentioned that, when Sultân Salim Khan the
elder was reading the chronicles, and especially the
biographies of Ibn Khallikân, he translated the book
for him, and that the Sultân died (A.D. 1520) when he
had done half the work. And perhaps this Kabir is
the man commonly known as Azhar-aldin Alarda-
bili”
This remark of Hâji Khalfa is, in all particulars,
confirmed by the introduction which the translator has
prefixed to his work. It consists of two parts—ff. 10—
b, about the origin of this translation, ete.; ff. 5>—7a,
a short vita of Ibn Khallikan. Concerning the cha-
racter of this work, we have to add that almost all the
poetry guoted in the original is transferred into the
translation.

This note makes it evident that copyist (کاتب) 6
author are the same person, and that this copy is the
author’s autograph. Indeed, this note would be out of
its place in any other copy but the author’s autograph.
The MS., though not dated, may certainly be as old as
the beginning of the seventeenth century, and many
additions on the margin (by the same hand) seem to
represent the last finishing strokes, applied by the
author to his work.
After the preface (ff. 5b—6b) the biographies begin.
The biographical information the author gives is mostly
very scanty, the poetical quotations are sometimes of
considerable length. After every article, short or long,
follows a prayer for the emperor, of one line or two,
beginning with الهى . In the arrangement of the poets
we cannot recognise a certain system. Every chapter
bears the title .ذکر خیر
The MS. is imperfect at the end; there are wanting
a few leaves at the utmost, containing the rest of the
article concerning the author himself.

Majma'-alshu'arâ-i-Jahângirshâhi مچمع الشعرلی)
Part of a collection of biographies of Persian poets,
who wrote in praise of the emperor Jahangir (died ۵,
1037=A.D. 1627), to whom the work is dedicated.
The title occurs on fol. 52, 1. 2, and on fol. 5» ult.
The biographies are 151 in number, the last of which
(on ff.r21b-127)) treats of the author himself (sx\4).
His name is Kâti'i ( 6); see fol. 41>, 1. 6; fol. 424,
1.2; 101. 121۳, 1. 9; fol. 1229, 1. 11; fol. 126, 1.8; and
fol. r27> ult. He must have been in close connec-
tion with the emperor, very likely as an officer of his
court. He was an aged man when he wrote this (fol.
5°, 1.7); his teacher or spiritual guide was Maulana
Kasim! (fol. 125, 1.8). On fol. 121۳ 1. 7 sq., he says,
that he, unlike the poets who spent their whole life on
that single art, had devoted the greatest part of his
life to ‘the acquisition of virtue’ (+2 .(باکتساب
This book is the ‘third volume’ (Daftar) of a larger
one, as the author calls it himself at the beginning of
the preface (fol. gb, 1. 4).
An index of the poets is prefixed on ff. 3, 4 by a
more modern hand. Title: فمپرست اسامی شعرا اک درین

A.D. 1785, May 31. On the fly-leaf Sir Gore Ouseley
has added the following lines :—‘In the first volume
of the Asiatic Miscellany, printed in 1785, Mr. William
Chambers, a learned orientalist, says that Mir Gholam
Ali Azad, the author or compiler of the “ Khazâna-i-
‘Amirah” is still alive at Aurangabad in the Deckan,
where, after a series of years spent in literary pursuits
and extensive travels, he resides in great repute and
with some splendour, at the age of eighty-five. The
present Nizam has visited him twice in person at that
city; and the writer of this article (Mr. W. Chambers)
is in possession of the copy of a letter addressed to him
in the year 1775 by the celebrated Ghazi uddin Khan,
wherein he pays him the highest compliments. The
work in question was published by him there in the
sixty-first year of his age; and he is the author of
several others in verse and prose: among which he
tells Ghazi uddin Khan in his answer to the above-
mentioned letter, that his Arabic poems amounted to
4000 couplets, and his Persian to 8000; confessing at
the same time, that he was constantly adding something
to each, though he had then passed the age of seventy.
But his historical writings are to European readers the
most curious and valuable of his productions ; and they
have this particular recommendation, that he was the
eye-witness of most of the facts which he relates, and
has himself travelled over the countries which are the
scene of all his narrations.’

In the preface on ff. 602-03 he states, that he travelled
to ‘Azimabad in Safar A.H. 1192, that here he took up
the plan of composing this work, which he executed
during the journey to Calcutta and finished on the 3rd
of the second Jumâdâ, A.H. 1193 —A.D. 1779, June
18th. See fol. ga,l.3:
بوده زمه جماد دویم سپوم نه بیش ونه کم
In the conclusion, on ff. 1825-1833, he proceeds to
state, that after having composed this during the jour-
ney to Calcutta in A. H. 1193, he came on his return to
Lucknow A.H. 1194; here he got much more informa-
tion about other poets. This, however, he could not
incorporate in his work, because he thought it necessary
to confine himself to those poets, of whom he had given
a list in the introduction to his work,
This list, which we find on ff. 3b-pb, is dated from
A.H. 1197= A.D. 1783.
قمبرست اسامی خوش بیان Gree زبان سنة Title:

Accordingly we have to suppose, that the preface and
the work itself were composed A.H. 1193, but that the
conclusion was added at the same time with the index
of the poets, viz. A.H. 1197.
The whole MS. is written by one hand, very likely
the author’s own.
The poets are 247 in number, and they are arranged
alphabetically. The careful biographical information,
along with the many and extensive extracts from
Diwans, renders the work very valuable indeed. There
occur many poets whom Garcin de Tassy (in his His-
toire de la Littérature Hindouie et Hindoustanie) does
not even mention, and the very useful list of Rékhta
poets given by A. Sprenger (in his Catalogue, p. 195 sq.)

Extracts from the diwâns of Rékhta poets, with short
biographical notices, beginning with the famous Siraj-
aldin “Alikhân Arzü (born A.H. 1 و1۵1 died 1169), who
is the author of the well-known Persian tadhkirah
Majma'-alnafâ'is, of two diwâns in Persian and Urdü,
and of many other writings ; comp. A. Sprenger, Catal.,
p-133; Garcin de Tassy, Histoire de la Litterature Hin-
douie et Hindoust., sec. ed.i. p.226 sg. The poets in this
anthology follow each other in alphabetical order, and
the biographical notices, as well as the specimens, are
compiled according to the colophon from the tadh-
kirahs of Ibrahim “Alikhân (that is, the کلزار ابراهيم by
the Nawwab ‘Ali Ibrâhimshâh, composed between 1195
and 1198, see above, col. 294), of Mir Taki (that is, the
by Mir Muhammad Taki, with the takhalluş کات الشعرا
Mir), of Muşhafi (that is, the هندی 4935 by Ghulam
Hamdâni Mushafi, composed A. H. 1209, see A. Sprenger,
Catal., p. 182), and of ‘Ishki (composed about A.H. 1215,
see the preceding notice). Consequently this tadhkirah
or anthology must have been compiled after A.H. 1215

The largest biographical dictionary of Persian poets
which was ever written, completed by Ahmad ‘Alikhan
Hâshimi of Sandilah, the son of Shaikh Ghulam Mu-
hammad ibn Fadilat, at Dihli, a. 11, 1218—A.D. 1803-

In his youthful days the author left his native coun-
try, and, after much travelling, entered the service of
the late Nawwab ‘Izzat-aldaulah Mirzâ Hasan Suhrâb-

occupied the place of his father Mirzâ Muhammad
Muhsin, the elder brother of Nawwâb Şafdarjang. A.
Sprenger, in his Catalogue, p. 146, seems to have misun-
derstood the preface, because he says that Ahmad “Ali-
khan dedicated his work to Safdarjang, who died a. H.
1167, A.D. 1753-1754. We cannot find anything
confirming this statement. See a full list of authori-

This version, being closely related to that other Persian
abridgment of Istakhri’s work, which Sir W. Ouseley
edited under the title, ‘The Oriental Geography of Ibn
Haukal, etc.,’ London, 1800, has the same arrangement
of materials. The maps are carefully drawn.
This copy is throughout very carefully written. The
date, however, is so badly written, that we are not quite
certain how to read it. It seems to be A.H. 670, Dhü-

The average of the pictures in this volume does not
stand on the highest level of Eastern art, though a great
many of them are executed very accurately ‘and care-
fully. The first two pages are surrounded by a richly
ornamented border.

ing note on the first page: 114v دوازدهم ۱۳ سوال سنة

from two to three centuries old.

It begins with two chapters in praise of God and
Muhammad, the third opens thus :

Sy > عالم همه دو قسم آمد آن یک یگنج واین طلسم امد
قسمت اصل او مغیباتست - وان چه فرعست وآن شهاداتست
مريك ازاصل و فرع شد قسمی - کردمش زانسبب جدا اسمی
اسم اول غراتب الدنیا = اسم ثانی عجاتب الاعلی
(comp. fol. 3, I. 2). In this division we recognise
the Mukaddimat and the two Makâlât of the original,
the order being inverted, غراتب الدنیا corresponds to the
second makâlah, ,فی السفلیات and الاعلی Sis to the
first makâlah, نی العلویات That agrees icompletely with
the above-given division of the whole مراة and with the
contents of this copy, which comprises in the main
only the second makâlah of the original (the first
makâlah was reserved for the third bab). The author,
however, does not seem to have confined himself to the
information given by Kazwini, but to have used other
works besides, as he sometimes makes additions, which
are not found in the Arabic original. After having
given the division the author proceeds to state that he
does not intend to write a highly polished poem full of
pleasing tales, but a plain, instructive work, and com-
mences the book with an explanation of the words غريب
and رگچیب the creator and creation, followed by a
poetical description of all the wonderful things in this
world, arranged upon the whole in the same manner as
Kazwini's work, viz. inanimate things ,(جمادات) general
geography, about longitude and latitude, mountains,
wells, lakes, seas, islands, minerals, plants, birds, huge
beasts, Ghüls, monkeys, different sorts of men, and man
himself. A lacuna after fol. ۰

Then follows, instead of the three mukaddimas, which
are entirely omitted here, a short preface of the trans-
lator, who hides his name; and immediately after that
begins the first Iklim, on fol. 32. The second begins on
fol. 34>, the beginning of the third is not found, as
there is a large lacuna between ff. 64 and 65 (fol. 64
corresponding to p. go in Wüstenfeld's edition, and fol.
65 to p. 104 of the same, so that a small remainder of
the second and a good portion of the third Iklim are
missing). The fourth Iklim begins on fol. 142, the
Jifth on fol. 307%, the sixth on fol. 376», the seventh on
fol. اوه The right order of ff. 218-223 is: 218, 220,

famous work), by Jalâl-aldin Hamzah Âdhuri of Asfar-
Win, who lived in the time of Shahrukh and died A.H.
806—A.D. 1461, 1462 (comp. A. Sprenger, Catal.,

The division of this risâlah is not quite clear, there
are rukns, fasls, dhikrs, ete., but the headings being very
often omitted, it is impossible to trace them. It begins
with some wonderful stories from the lives of Iskandar,
Tukmân, etc.; then follows, on fol. 34%, the first rukn
on the superlunary things ګن الاول فی عچائب الاجرام) Sl
ر(العلویة interspersed also with a great number of short
stories. A chapter on angels, an account of thunder
and lightning, ete., are likewise found in this rukn.

begin on fol. 39% (heading wanting), and contains many
subdivisions. We quote the more important ones:

have been composed at a later time, because it is dedi-
cated to ‘Abdallahkhan bin Iskandarkhan, a prince of
the Shaibâniyyah dynasty, who reigned over Transox-

A cosmographical tract, compiled from older standard
works, by an anonymous author, It is dedicated to a
Sultân Mahmüdkhân, but since there is neither date nor
any kind of pedigree added to this name, it is rather
difficult to say which Mahmüd the sovereign in question
is. We suppose Mahmüd of Kandahar is meant, who
was proclaimed king A. H. 1130 = A.D. 1718; see Mal-

.(حديقة الاقاليم) Hadikat-alakalim
“A large modern geographical encyclopedia by Kadi
Murtadâ Husain Balgrami, entitled Hadikat-alakâlim,
or the garden of the (seven) climates. The author tells
us in the introduction that he was from his tenth year
(A.H.1142= A.D. 1729,1730, in Muhammadshah’s reign),
to his fifty-fifth year(a. 4.1187 =A.D.1773,1774, in Shah
‘Alam’s reign), in the service of many Indian Amirs, a
detailed list of which, together with some other bio-
graphical details of the author, is given by Rieu iii.
Pp. 992 sq.; comp. Elliot, History of India, viii. pp. 180—
183. Some time after he made the acquaintance of
some Englishmen, principally of Captain Jonathan
Scott, and having entered this gentleman’s service, A.H.
1190, he began to compile this encyclopedia on the
basis of all the books written on the same subject, in
order to offer a comprehensive manual of science to
Arabic and Persian scholars. It therefore contains not
only a general geographical description of the coun-
tries, cities, ete., but an abridgment of their political
and literary history, biographies of learned men, poets,
ete. This copy seems to be the author's autograph.

the author speaks of his office, of the favour which he

during A. H. 1081-1085; he visited Isfahan, Baghdad,
Basrah, Sürat, Shahjahanabad, Haidarâbâd, Sârangpür,

This work is not complete. At the beginning one
page was wanting, but was added by a later hand.
Between Nos. 380 and 381 the continuation is disturbed,
and No. 381 again is imperfect at the end. There are
additions in a more modern hand in No. 379, ff. 16-26,
and No. 380, ff. 435-450.
The MS. is not dated, but it seems to have been
copied in the sixth or seventh century of the Hijrah.
As two peculiarities of this copy may be mentioned the
careful distinction between د and 3 in Persian words,
and the constant way of spelling کی 46 of که
Haji Khalfa does not seem to know the work, nor is
it mentioned in any other collection. In the following
we give a short account of the beginning :
Three hundred and eighty years before Muhammad’,
Halab was ruled by a king, Marzubânshâh, and his
wazir, Hâmân. The king had no son, but wished for
one, Haman, on inquiring into his horoscope, finds
that he will have a son by a lady, a native of ‘Trak. In
‘Trak there was a king called سمارق who had a beau-
tiful daughter named abe Marzubanshah sends one
Jumhür to this king, asking for his daughter. Samarik,
after having treated him hospitably, agrees and sends
him back along with his daughter and his wazir, .شروان
Gulnar had already ere this a son, called .فرخ روز Mar-
zubânshâh marries her, and she gives birth to a child
called Khurshidshâh. 116 is educated together with
Farrukh-rüz. At the age of seventeen he gets up a
great hunting party. On the seventh day he pursues a
خرگور all day without catching it, and in the evening he
has lost his way. The same scene is repeated the next
day, when the wild ass vanishes; a desert appears
before his eyes, and in it a splendid tent. On entering
he finds there a beautiful lady, with whom he falls in
love. When she gives him drink, he falls down
senseless.
His suite, getting alarmed, set out in search of him,
and find him in that state, but tent and lady have
vanished. The prince is inconsolable at the loss of the
lady. They try to persuade him that it was a dream ;
1 A more modern hand adds two thousand years more.

He states in the preface that this work before his time
was translated from the ‘Hindi’ into Persian ( واز

(fol. 3 1.1).
Besides this, there exist two other versions, one ۰

in the seventeenth century). This latter (and shorter)
version was edited and translated by Gladwin, Calcutta,
1800, and London, 1801;. translated into German by

edition of D. Forbes, London, 1852, preface, p. 1).

he, however, finds the ring which she gave him. They
return home and the whole affair is reported to the
king. Nobody can read the legend of the ring. The
prince gets desperately sick. The ring is exposed in a
public place, and a great sum offered to him who will
decipher it.
The astrologers are consulted, and they say that the
prince will be healed, wild be a great king, ete. Finally,
a Pir comes, professing to know the owner of the ring,
to understand the inscription, ete. On being led into
the presence of the king and his son, he explains that
the ring belongs to the daughter of the Shah of Cin,
Gp .مه Her nurse is a powerful sorceress, called
.شروانه If she is not sufficiently honoured, she takes
the princess away to some remote place. Her name is
on the ring, and it is a talisman with powerful signs.
He knows the man who wrought it. The nurse puts
three questions to the lovers of the princess, and as
nobody is able to solve them, she destroys them all.
This Pir is in reality the nurse-sorceress herself.
The prince recovers. After long resistance on the
part of the king, he sets out for China with Farrukh-
riz, two Amirs, الیان and ,اليار ete. These latter make
a conspiracy to kill the prince and to take his treasures.
However, a slave, Timurtâsh, the ساقی of the prince,
who was to poison him, reveals the secret to him.
الیان and الیار are poisoned, and Timurtâsh becomes
their successor.
Finally they arrive in China. Before being admitted
into the presence of the Faghfür, the two brothers
exchange réles, Farrukh-rüz playing that of Khurshid-
shah. They are led before the princess. The result is
this, that Farrukh-rüz is carried off by the sorceress.
Khurshidshâh in his distress makes friendship with
gp Jaw .خواجه One day, sitting in his shop, he sees
passing by in the street a brilliant suite of cavaliers, the
Chinese nobility; at the head of them شغال پیل زور
and his son ,Le el... Khurshidshâh goes to them,
and acquaints them with the real state of affairs.
They take up his cause, and join their efforts for the
purpose of freeing Farrukh-rüz, and gaining the prin-
cess for Khurshidshah, ete.

sin, is in the habit of riding around his capital in order
to ascertain for himself the ‘real state of his people. One
day he finds in the bazaar of the bankers (صراف) ۵
dervishes sitting in a corner, each reciting a verse.
The king’s curiosity is roused ; he orders them to court,
and all three tell him their stories. F inally he tells
one of his own, treats them hospitably, and sends them
home; comp. a similar story | in Rieu ii. p. 772.

Dallah (دل) is the aoe of a merchant of Baghdad
by the name of Khwâjah Ja'far. Her parents die. In
a dream she sees a beautiful youth, Mukhtar, whose
occupation is swindling (عياری) She falls in love with
him, desires him for en nl and begins herself to
swindle. A caravan arrives in the town, amongst them
one Mukhtar. The woman of the caravansarai tells
him about Dallah; he goes to her house, and is recog-
nised by her as the man of her dream. She promises
to marry him, if he will give sufficient proof of his
capacity for swindling. Then follows a grand display
of swindling, by which many people are brought into
distress. Even the Khalif interferes, but Mukhtar
always escapes. Finally he marries her, they go to
Harât, and send a letter to the Khalif, informing him
of the true aspect of the matter. See also Rieu 13. p. 760.

LK i of 10 marries the ۱ of
his Sipahsâlâr during the absence of the latter. The
offended father-in-law gets up a rebellion; the king
and his wife flee to the king of Kirmân, abandoning
their child in their flight by the wayside (with twelve
pearls and a costly robe). Robbers take the child,
amongst them Farrukh-suwar. It grows up, and is
called Khudâdâd. The robbers fight with a caravan,
are taken prisoners, and brought before the king.
He takes an interest in Khudadad, calls him Bakhtyar,
and elevates him to the highest post. Bakhtyar one
day gets intoxicated and offends the king. Now the
ten wazirs try to ruin him, persuading the queen
according to their plans. Each wazir urges the king to
kill him, but then Bakhtyâr tells a tale. Finally his
identity is proved by Farrukh-suwar, by the pearls and
the robe; the wazirs are killed, ete.
This latter tale was edited by Sir W. Ouseley, text
and translation, London, 1801.

Tale.
A tale, the name of which does not occur. A king
has a son (Bahram) after having desired one for many
years. At his birth it is prophesied that he will rule
over all seven climates as soon as he is twelve years
old. A short time before he reaches this age he
goes out hunting, pursues a gazelle, captures it, and
rides on its back in the struggle. The gazelle, being
really the Diw-i-safid, carries him off to his abode.
Here he finds another prince, Hilâl, whom he frees
from his chains. The Diw makes him the servant of
Bahram ; he allows them to pay a visit to the world.
Before starting Bahram takes a bath, which gives him
Pari-like beauty, etc. etc.

Garshaspnama (sb شاسب yi)
The Garshâspnâma or the exploits of Garshâsp, prince
of Sistân and one of the ancestors of Rustam,a mathnawi
in imitation of Firdausi, which was completed A.H. 458

(comp. Elliot 141, fol. ıgob, 1. 3; India Office 276;
and the Paris copy; all of which exhibit the same date).
It is generally ascribed to Asadi, the old master of
Firdausi, but both the date of composition (since Asadi
died in the reign of Sultân Masüd bin Mahmüd,
H. 421-432 = A.D. 1030-1040) and other internal
evidences refute this supposition; the author was pro-
bably Asadi’s son, “Ali bin Ahmad al-Asadi, with the
two Kunyas, Abü-alhasan and Abü-almanşür : comp. on
this question Dr. Ethé’s paper, ‘ Ueber persische Ten-
zonen, in ‘Abhandlungen des fiinften Internationalen

refer to Mohl’s preface to the ‘Livre des Rois.’ The
Persian text of a portion of it was published by Turner
Macan in the appendix to his edition of the Shâhnâma,
tom. iv. pp. 2109-2133 (corresponding to ff. 104, 1. 2—
26» in this copy). According to fol. 234, lin. penult.,
the mathnawi contains 10,000 baits, and the author was
engaged in its composition for two years; Elliot 141
gives gooo baits and three years.

Kişşa-i-Bânü Gushasp سر 323).
A post-Firdausian epic or collection of ballads, relat-
ing to the daughter of Rustam, called Bânü Gushasp.
A brief account of its contents is given by J. Mohl, Le
Livre des Rois, vol. i. préf. p. Ixiv; the same scholar
assigns it to the fifth century of the Hijrah. The author
is not known.
The Paris MS. (Fonds Anquetil, No. 86) is said to
have about 900 distichs; the present copy has upwards
of 800. It begins without a preface:
یکی بورزاد دخت شاه و دیدار ار ارو کرد ماه
حول در رس جر د تن فراهررتامش نې اد
It is imperfect at the end, the last verse being —
خروشان زمر سو خرامان تذرو
The MS. seems to have been copied in the tenth
century of the Hijrah. The pages are marked with
Sanskrit numerals, which might be considered as to
some extent a proof that the copyist was an Indian Parsi
(comp. J. Mohl, pref. p. Iviii, note 3). This, however,
is not certain, since the ink of the numerals seems to
indicate a more recent date than that of the text.

the Ma'ârij-alnubuwwah (comp. Nos. 128-130, p. 73 sq.),
a biography of Muhammad and ‘Ali, composed in imita-
tion of Firdausi, Hâtifi, Kâsimi, and others (see fol. 7»,

This MS. seems to have had illustrious owners, as
several seals on the first page show. On one we read,
“Sultân Muhammad bin Sultân Mahmüd, 1005.

Zafarkhân, 1038; a third, besides the name of the
same emperor, that of ‘Inayat-allah bin Zafarkhân,
1049.
A fourth seal has the name Muhammad Kazim.
Besides these there are four other seals.
On the last page there is a note in the handwriting of
‘Inayatkhan, stating that he, when accompanying Shah-
Jahan on his tour to Lâhür, A.H. 1061=A.. 1651,
made an extract from this Shahnama, and ordered it to
be copied out for him. His notes occur throughout the

Hadikat-alhakikah u Shari‘at-altarikah (si ll ibi
The Hadikah of Abü-almajd Majdüd bin Adam Sanâ'i,
known as Hakim Sanâ'i, a native of Ghazna, who died
probably A. H. 545=A. D. 1150, as Taki Kashi and the
author of the Âtushkada state. This seems to be con-
firmed by another statement in the Atashkada (Ouseley
Add. 183, fol. 1969), that Sanâ'i wrote an elegy on the
death of Amir Mu‘izzi, who died under Sultân Sanjar,
A.u. 542. A strong objection to this date is raised,
no doubt, by the preface of ‘Ali al-Raffa, alias Muham-
mad bin ‘Ali Rakkâm, who fixes (as Jami in the Nafahat
also does) Sanâ'i's death in the same year in which the
Hadikah was completed, and it seems almost impossible
to reconcile these conflicting statements. One point,
however, is clear; A.H. 525 cannot be the correct date
of the poet’s demise, since another mathnawi of his, the
Geis G2’, was composed A.H. 528 (see India Office
Library, No. 1430, fol. 188):

death is fixed in A, H. 525, the 11th of Sha'bân, which
was a Sunday! That is undoubtedly a mistake, as the
rıth of Sha'bân in that year proves to have been a
Thursday, whereas in A.H. 545—a strange coincidence—
it was really a Sunday !

The minor poems of the same Hakim Sanâ'i, con-
taining :
A prose preface, on fol. 1», the first page of which is
the beginning of Muhammad bin “Ali al-Raffa’s well-
known introduction, usually prefixed to 5756
Hadikah ; but from fol. 2* to fol. 7a it does not agree
with the other copies of Raffâ's preface. There is
undoubtedly a large lacuna between ff.1 and 2, and
the remainder probably belongs to quite a different
introduction.
Another prose preface, on fol. 7%, containing, as it
seems, some letters by Sanâ'i, but it is very difficult to
read and understand both this and the first preface,
as there are endless omissions and blanks.

finding their proper place), or are a fragment of another
poem, copied by the same hand. Sometimes there are
blanks left, where the original was illegible to the

Mathnawi (مثنوی)
One of the oldest copies of the famous mathnawi by
Maulana Jalâl-aldin Muhammad bin Muhammad bin
Hasan albalkhi, commonly called Jalal-aldin Rami, who
was born in Balkh, A.H. 604A. D. 1207, and died at
Iconium, A.H. 672=A.D. 1273. For further biogra-
phical particulars we refer to Sir Gore Ouseley, Notices
of Persian Poets, p. 112; Rieu ii. p. 584 sq.; A. Sprenger,
Catal., p..489; G. Fliigel i. p.514. It has been printed
(respectively lithographed) in Bombay, A.H. 1262, 1266,
1273, 1280, and 1294; in Lucknow, A.H. 1282; in
translation; and in Constantinople, A.H. 1289. Por-
tions have been translated into German by G. Rosen,
Leipzig, 1849 ; into English (the first book) by J. ۰
Redhouse, London, 1881 (Trübner's Oriental Series).

This splendid copy was finished at Lâhür, the 23rd
(Daibadin) of the month Bahman, in the year 39 (? 983).
Sir Gore Ouseley makes the following statement about
it (written on the fly-leaves, A.D. 1817): ‘This most
curious and beautiful volume, written in the finest
Nastâlik character by the famous scribe Muhammed
Hussein, who, in consequence of his inimitable penman-
ship, obtained the title of Zerin Kalm, or pen of gold,
was transcribed at Lahör for the emperor of Hindustan,
and finished about 1575 of the Christian era (A.H. 983).
No less than sixteen painters of the greatest eminence
contributed to the embellishment of this beautiful MS.
Five were employed upon the illumination and marginal
arabesques, viz. Khezer, Selman, Mukhlis, Ahmed, and
Akhlâs; on the hunting scenes and animals, three, viz.
Emad, Husseini, and Ustâd Babi; on coloured paint-
ings which illustrate the work, five, viz. Miskinah,
Madhu, Makund, Basâwan, and Laal; and on painting
the faces in the vignettes and margins, three, viz.
Sindâs, K'him, and Balchand.’
This MS. came into Shâhjahân's library A. H. 1020,
the 8th of Jumada-althani (A.D. 1611, August 18; see
that emperor’s autograph on fol. 12), and into Sir Gore
Ouseley’s A.H. 1215, the 4th of Muharram (A. D. 1800,
May 28). A second autograph of one of Timür's im-
perial descendants is also found on fol. 12.

A charming mathnawi, a kind of munazarah or strife-
poem, on a large scale, in the form of a poetical tale, by
Inshâ'i (see fol. 4b, last line, and the last bait of the
poem; sometimes also Munshi seems to be used as
takhallus by the poet), who dedicated it to Sultan
Juwânmard ‘Alikhan (see fol. 8»), the son of Abü Sa'id-
khân, who, according to Vambéry’s Bochara, ii. p. 55,
ascended the throne of Samarkand in A.H. 980-۸, D.
1572. In the chapter وبيان احوال SES سیب نه
the author tells us, that after having ردام تور (ff. ناه
been, like his ancestors, a munshi (therefore his takhal-
lus), he became wazir at Samarkand, but was removed
from his place by the intrigues of courtiers and col-
leagues. Having retired into private life, he spent his
leisure in the company of literary friends, especially in
that of a celebrated poet, whose name he tries to hide
in the following riddle (fol. rr, 1. 11):

Abü-albarakât bin Maulânâ “Abd-almajid of Multan,
with the takhalluş Munir, who died before he could
complete his work. The Khulâşat-alafkâr (Elliot 181,
No. 264) fixes his death in A.H. 1054 —A.D. 1644,
1645, and that agrees very well with the date of Munir’s
انشا and the same author’s نوباک (another collection of
letters), copies of which are preserved in the India
Office Library (Nos. 426 and 537), viz. A.H. 1050 and

of this commentary, all the manuscripts of Munir were
scattered about after his death, and only twenty-two
years later, in the Ramadan, A.H. 1057 (no doubt a
mistake for 1075), one of his khâdims, passing through
the city of Burhânpür, found these fragments, and edited
them after having added an elaborate introduction.

Lyrical and epical poems by Shâpür of Rai, or,

(born A.H. 973=A.D. 1565, 1566), and went twice to
India, where he found favour with his relative Aşafjâh
Ja‘far (see Nos. 1068-1071), and was highly honoured
at the court of Sultân Salim, who assumed as em-
peror the title of Jahangir, A.H. 1014-1037. He was
a nephew of Umidi (see No. 1017), and died probably
about the same time as his protector Asafjah, or shortly
afterwards ; comp. Rieu ii. p. 674; A. Sprenger, Catal.,
PP. 42,124, 407, and 564. The baits quoted in the

Another copy of the same mathnawi, styled here and

.(خسرو و شيرين) The beginning differs from that in
Elliot 129:
خداوندا رهی از غیب بنمای
برحمت کن زغیب از عیب پائم
but the fifth bait resembles somewhat the first of the
preceding copy, viz. : BS
دل غمگين زشادی شاد از اندوه
عم کوه تا کوه re درو
and the sixth agrees with the second there. Besides,
Elliot 129 is considerably shorter than this copy, since
its last bait corresponds to fol. 62%, last line, here
(=Ouseley 88, fol. 172, 1. 4), and both here and in
Ouseley 88 there are 641 additional baits. Finally, the
dedication to Jahangir (which is found here on fol. 9%,
last line) is entirely wanting in Elliot 129, and must
be wanting, as the colophon shows that the copy was
finished about nineteen years before the accession of
that emperor. From all this we conclude that the
preceding copy, Elliot 129, contains the first sketch of
the work which, at a much later date, was enlarged and
amplified by the author.

(کلَیات زلالی) Kulliyyât-i-Zulâli
The complete epical and didactical works of Hakim
Zulali of Khwânsâr, who died about A.H. 1025 or 1026 —
A.D. 1616 or 1617; comp. Rieu ii. p. 677, and A. Spren-
ger, Catal., p. 592. The Khulâşat-alkalâm, Elliot 183,
No. 32, fixes his death in A.H. 1016, which is obviously
a mistake for 1026; the Khuldsat-alafkar, however
(Elliot 181, No. 116), gives a later date, viz. 1031.
This copy contains, besides the seven mathnawis,
usually known as سیاره sw (the seven planets), هفت
سیاره or رهفت آشوب another eighth poem, not to be
found anywhere else. Each of the first seven is pre-
ceded by a preface in prose, and the whole Kulliyyât
by a دیبايې from the pen of the author himself,
as we believe (not from Tughra’s, who also wrote a
preface to Zulali’s poems)—beginning, on fol. 1b; بقدر

This copy of Zuhüri's Kulliyyât contains :
Three prose-treatises, the first and second of which
are the زار ابراهیم (on fol. rb) and the خوان خلیل (on
fol. 4b, margin); quite agreeing with the second and
third in the preceding copy. The third is a sort of
preface to the complete works, without a title, and
quite different from the ,نورس which is wanting here.

A vast collection of Persian poems of different kinds,
the value of which can scarcely be overrated. It con-
tains extracts, and in many cases most copious extracts,
from diwans of poets, some of which have hitherto been
entirely unknown. The compiler must have had at his
disposal a collection of poetical works, rarely paral-
leled in the East, we should think, even at periods
when literature was most flourishing.
It is apparent that the compiler imitated the general
form of diwans in the arrangement of the poems, viz. :
I. Kasidas, on ff. 1-114, col. r. This part, perhaps
the most valuable of the whole collection, contains poems
by the following poets:

Who the compiler was and when he made this collec-

note on fol. 1629, it is evident that the copyist was one
Muhammad Salih, and that he wrote this the 19th of
Rajab, A.H. 1042=A.D. 1633, January 30. It is pos-
sible for the copyist and compiler to be the same person,
identical either with the! author of the ‘Amal-i-Salih
and the Bahar-i-Sukhan (composed respectively ۰
1070 and 1074), or rather with Mir Muhammad Salih
Kashfi, who wrote the Majmü'a-i-Râz in A. H. 1030, the
I'jaz-i-Mustafawi or history of Muhammad and the
early Khalifs, and the Manakib-i-Murtazawi, and died
A.H. 1061=A.D. 1651; see A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 456,
and Rieu i. p. 154. The name of the place where this
collection was written occurs in the same note, but we
have not succeeded in deciphering it. It seems to be
an Indian MS. The order of the leaves is disturbed by
the binder in this way: ff. 1-49 are followed by ff. 66—

A curious mathnawi, entitled Sultân Mahmiid’s book

the great Mahmüd of Ghazna, Firdausi's patron; see,
for instance, fol. 4474, 1. 6:

That this is a spurious book scarcely needs any
proof, since the style clearly points to the end of the

note on the margin of fol. 539 in this copy: قصائد که

The usual date of Wa‘iz’ death—viz. A. H. 1082, see
A. Sprenger, Catal., pp. 151 and 587—is obviously
wrong, as Rieu has proved, loc. cit.

Ghazals, on fol. 1b, arranged alphabetically, with a
series of rubâ'is at the end (on fol. 138P sg.) Begin-
ning : ۱

Not dated at the end, but on the margin of fol. 138b
there is a note (in the original writing, as it seems),
according to which this copy was written in the resi-
dence (Dihli 9), the 25th of Rabi‘ II, ۸۰1۲, 119g——A.D.
1785, March 7.
Besides this, the MS. contains on the margin almost
throughout an anthology of different pieces of poetry,
by different authors. But in many places the margin
has greatly suffered from wet, and the writing is conse-
quently effaced.
The following poets are quoted: “Urfi, Sâ'ib, Huma-
yün, Salih, ‘Ishki, Athar, Wa‘lz, on fol. 5%; Najat, Abii,
Jami, on fol. ya; Asafi, Faidi, on fol. 8b; Fighâni,

There are, besides, two other indications of forgery, viz.
the date A.H. 319, given to the composition of this book
in the last bait :

(an obvious attempt to give the highest possible anti-
guity to the poem, without the slightest regard to the
actual fact, that Sultan Mahmüd was born A.H. 357
and died A. H. 421), and the allusion to an عشق نامه
by Husaini (who may be identical either with Amir
Husaini Fakhr-alsâdât, the author of the رنزهة الارواح
died A.H. 718, or with Mir Husaini Kashani; see
Makhzan-algharâ'ib, No. 584) in the last chapter. The

(غزلیات راجا) Ghazaliyyat-i-Raja
A small number of rather long ghazals by a poet
with the takhallus Raja, who is not mentioned, as far

who is identical with our poet, as the beginning of our
copy proves: هر

There is another copy of this diwân in the India

This MS. is the very gem of all the Bodleian collec-
tions in calligraphy and illuminations. Almost every
page of it is embellished in a different way, but always
in an unsurpassed and unparalleled manner, especially
in the form of branches and leaves of trees (all with
beautifully bright colours), inside of which the penman
has written the Persian text. The number of columns
differs from 1 to 3, and the number of lines from 14 to
20. Very solid eastern binding, rich in gold. It contains
a very large collection of Persian poetry, compiled from
the works of ancient and modern authors, and completed
A.H. 1215, with a preface and khâtimah in prose. 6
former begins, on fol. ıb: مراسلات clare سر منشا

The title occurs twice, on fol. 7, ll. 9, 12, and 13;
and all the poetical specimens gathered in this collection
are brought under forty rubrics, for instance: عاشقی

with a short introduction in prose. Many leaves

we suppose, to be inserted in their respective places

another and larger collection of Nashit's poems in
Rieu ii. p. 722. We quote here Sir Gore Ouseley’s
account of the poet, which is found on the fly-leaf of
this copy: ‘These charming poems were composed by
Mirzâ Abdul Wahab (with the poetical title of Nishât),
the minister for foreign affairs to his Persian Majesty
Fateh AliShah Kajar, at the court of Teheran in 1813,
when I resided there as H. B. Majesty’s Ambassador
Extraordinary. He was learned and witty, a very
agreeable and amiable gentleman, and the most accom-
plished penman in several different characters that I
ever met with. Some parts of this volume are imperfect,
which, when he presented it to me on my departure
from Persia, he accounted for by saying, that being the
only fair copy of his poems then ready, intervals had
been left, under some of the alphabetical terminations,
for other odes which he meant to compose and intro-
duce, and which he was to send me for insertion here-
after to England. But death, not long after, drained
his poetic vein, and I lost a much-valued and deeply-
lamented friend as well as the promised poems.—Gore
Ouseley.’

That is the same curious tract which, according to
H. Khalfa iv. p. 175, No. 8015, was originally written
in Pahlawi and translated into Persian by Ibn Sinâ
(Avicenna), at the reguest of the Sâmânide prince Nüh
ibn Manşür (A.H. 366-387 = A.D. 976-997). It is
published in Sehefer's Chrestomathie Persane, tome
premier, 1883, pp. 1-1. Schefer’s remark, that this
work has not been mentioned in any catalogue of
European libraries, is most surprising, since it is
described both in G. Flügel iii. pp. 493 and 494, and
in Rieu i. p. 52, No. 7. The wording of the text here
differs considerably from that in Schefer, Fliigel, and

Jawahir-alasrar .(جواهر الاسرار) “iü
A work on general mystical speculation, intermixed
with poems, single baits, verses of the Kurân, ete., and
entitled ‘Gems of Mysteries, by Shaikh Adhuri, the
well-known poet, who died A.H. 866=A.D. 1461, 1462;
see above, Nos. 402, 403, and 884, and Rieu i. p. 43.
He is called here (on fol. 4, ll. 2-4), just as in Rieu’s
copy, ‘Ali bin Hamzah bin ‘Ali bin Malik bin Hasan of
Tis. According to his own statement this work is a kind
of second edition, or rather extract, partly shortened,
partly enlarged, from an earlier composition of his own,
entitled مفاتے الاسرار or the “keys of mysteries,’ which
he had written as a rough sketch after returning from
a journey to Syria, A.H. 830=A.D. ۲426, 1427۰ Some
time after he undertook again from India, where he
lived in the Dakhan under the reign of Ahmad Shah
Ghazi of the Bahmani dynasty (who ruled from A.E.
825 to 838=A.D. 1422-1435), a pilgrimage to Makkah,
and being requested at his return by many friends to
publish his work, he resolved upon giving a new edition
of his first sketch, enriched by all the knowledge he had
acquired during his journey, especially in Arabia, but
with a great many abridgments and omissions. He fin-
ished it in the Rajab of A.H. 840=A.D. 1437, January, as
Intikhâb-i-mafâtih-alasrâr, and entitled it الاسرار yeke.
The subdivision of both works is the same, either com-
prising /owr books. We quote from fol. 5%, 1. 5 80,
the headings of the four books of the first edition:

The first part of our copy is called
and begins, on fol. 1», thus:

On fol. 1678, ll. rr sg., the author states that he has
come now to the end of the کشف الارواح and is about
to begin the مصماح الارواح (that is, according to
Sprenger, the first part of the above-mentioned work,
composed A, H, 868=A. D. 1463, 1464); but, instead of
doing so, he continues on about twenty-eight pages
more the ,کشف الارواح as the colophon on fol. 1818,

The second part is styled رفضيلة العقل and begins,
on fol. 181۳, thus: (3 Gs) >) سم الله الرحمن

e : Se
The third part has no heading, but its title appears
in the colophon, on fol. 213°: .پور علی نور It begins,
on fol. 2049, thus:
با خردمند باش وجبری باش
مقصد تمودمت خوش فاش
ای عزیز چند نوبت نوشتم zl
Perhaps the real beginning of this part is missing.
The fourth part consists of two kaşidas, separated
from each other by a رمتاچات and followed by a few
rubi‘is. Beginning of the first kaşidah, on fol. 213):
مرکس که حسود نیست لی e Sİ os
آنست که مهر وماه از آن تابانست

Several parts of a mystical view and explanation of

1535, 1536. A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 446, fixes his death
in A.H. 922 or 925, which is obviously wrong. He
proceeds in this way, that he gives at first some verses
of the Kurân, some traditions or other sentences of an
ethical and moral character, explains and paraphrases
them (at least in the second and third treatise) in
Persian, and illustrates them afterwards by legends

A mathnawi on Şüfism, most likely from the pen
of Mir Muhammad Kazim Husaini, with the takhallus
Karim, the son of Fikr (see a probable allusion to that
name in the verses below); comp. Rieu ii. p. 683, and
A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 456. Beginning:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم - زینت سر لوح کتاب قديم
It is dedicated to Sultan ‘Abdallah Kutbshâh of Gul-
kunda, who ruled A. H.1035—1083—A.D.1626—1672 as
a tributary to Shahjahan ; see ff. 6272, and fol. 668, 1. 1.
The title of the book is not mentioned; it seems
to be, as we gather from many passages, 5 Oe

a compound, the first part of which is ii (like
eb etc.) ۱ راز
The date of the composition seems to be contained
in the following verses at the end, on fol. 65):

copy and Ouseley 120, ff. go—103 (see the next number),
being identical in writing, paper, and ornament, must
have been copied by the same man, viz. Muhammad Taki
Shirazi, who is mentioned at the end of Ouseley 120,

traces in this colophon. The name of the town where
he wrote is rubbed out.

Muhammad (A. H. 1037-1067 =A. D. 1627-1656). The
author, as we learn partly from the khatimah of this

native country for India A.H. 999=A. D. 1590, 1591,

A large collection of treatises by different authors,
mostly relating to the mystical doctrine, especially to
the unity of God, written in Persian, with a few ex-
ceptions, which are composed in Arabic (for instance,
the thirty-ninth and the fiftieth treatises). One index

111. 'TRANSLATIONS FROM SANSKRIT.
1306
«(ترجمة مهابهارت) Tarjuma-i-Mahâbhârat
Persian translation of the Mahâbhârata, made by
order of the emperor Akbar under the auspices of his
prime minister Abü-alfadl, who wrote the preface on
ff. 1-26, and dated it a. H. 995=A. D. 1587.
For the origin and history of this translation we
refer to an article of M. Schulz, ‘Apergu d'un mémoire
sur la traduction du Mahabharata, faite par ordre de
Vempereur Akbar, in the Journal Asiatigue, 1825, t. vil.
p. 110; and A’in-i-Akbari, translated by H. Blochmann,
p. 104 (and p. 105, note 1), where Abü-alfadl himself
gives the following account of the work: ‘The Malâ-
bharat, which belongs to the ancient books of Hindüstân,
has likewise been translated from Hindi into Persian,
under the superintendence of Nakib Khan, Maulana
‘Abd-alkadir of Badâ'ün, and Shaikh Sultân of Thanisar.
The book contains nearly one hundred thousand verses:
His Majesty calls this ancient history Razmndmah, the
book of wars.’ See also a full account of these transla-
tors in Rieu i. p. 57, from which we learn, on Badâ'üni's
authority, that the order for the translation was given
by Akbar in A. H. ggo—A.D. 1582, and that Nakibkhan
completed in Sha'bân, A.H. 992 =A. D.1584, August, the
literal version which was afterwards turned into elegant
prose by the poet Faidi, Abü-alfadl's brother. Badâ'üni,
however, states in another passage (see Rieu iil. p.
1078>) that Shaikh Sultân Thanisari spent four years
in completing the translation commenced by Nakibkhân,
and a copy of the India Office Library, No. 3014, gives,
on fol. 1719, as date for the completion of the first
Parva in the elegant and poetical version of Faidi, A. ۰
997, 1st of Rabi-alawwal A.D. 1589, January 18.
We have therefore to distinguish between two versions,
bearing alike the name of Abü-alfadl, one in a simple
prose-form without poetical embellishments, to which
the usual copies and Nos. 1306-1312 in this Catalogue
belong, and another in a highly poetical and flowery
style, due to Faidi, a fragment of which is preserved in
No. 1313 (and perhaps in No. 1314 too) of this Cata-
logue. A note in No. 761 of the India Office Library
fol. 1*) describes this second poetical version as
مبسوط و بعبارت 1 رای . A later metrical paraphrase

copies. No date. Fol. 199 must be inserted between

after which comes Parva XVI (on fol. 125»), and then
Parva XVIII (on fol. 129°).
Parvas V—XI are entirely missing in this copy. The
last part of it was finished at Lâhür, in the sixth year of

Another Persian translation of the same work was
made under the superintendence of Prince Dara Shuküh,

A collection of Upanishads or Upnakhats ,(ابنکهت)
compiled and translated under the auspices of Prince
Dârâ Shuküh, the son of Shâhjâhân, who was killed by
order of his brother Aurangzib A. H. 1069 A.D. 1659;

In the preface the prince's intercourse with the famous
Süfi Mulla Shah (who died A.H. 1072 < ۸, ۰ 1661, 1662)
in Kashmir, A. H. 1050=A. D. 1640, 1641, is mentioned.
His enthusiasm for Şüfism, considered equal to heresy
by orthodox Muslims, furnished the plea for his con-
demnation. According to Şüfic doctrines he considered
not only the Kurân, but also the religious books of
other confessions as proceeding from divine revelation ;
from a desire to get acquainted with Hinduism he
ordered some Pandits of Banaras to compile this work,
which was finished A, H. 1067 —A.D. 1657. Comp.

.(دقاتق الاشعار) Dakâ'ik-alash'âr
A very curious tadhkirah or poetical anthology by
“Abd-alwahhâb (which of the many writers of this name
is meant here we cannot decide; the probability would
be in favour of the author of the Tadhkira-i-Binazir,

notice of Sir Gore Ouseley on the inside of the binding,
Dakâ'ik-alash'âr or the subtilties of poetry. In the
work itself, which begins, without preface or intro-
duction, immediately with a table of contents on fol.
14, no title is mentioned anywhere. According to the
index just mentioned, the collection was to consist of
thirty babs, each containing large extracts from the
diwans of various poets; but of these only seventeen
are marked in the text. All the rest are missing, and so
is the index of the twenty-four babs of rubâis too,
which is promised on fol. 14 at the end of the first table

The author is Kadi Hamid-aldin Abü Bakr bin

The date, when the book was composed, occurs on fol.

to the statement in the preface, they ought to be twenty-
five. Only the first six are numbered ; the beginning
of the rest of them is marked by the words القامت or
حکایت ; of such parts there are found twenty-four
agreeing with the lithographed edition, and the khatimah
may perhaps be considered as the twenty-fifth.

A work on the art of letter-writing, with forms of
letters of every deseription and other specimens of a
high rhetorical prose-style, compiled for the benefit of
his son Rafi‘-aldin Husain and other scholars of this
branch of science, by Maulânâ Yüsufi, a munshi of
Humâyün, who is probably identical with the physician
Yüsuf bin Muhammad of Harât, the author of many
medical works (see Rieu ii. pp. 475 and 529, iii. p.
1089"), A.H. 940=A. D. 1533, 1534- The value of the

The author divides the Inshâ into two parts, توقیعات
and رات si=*; the latter are subdivided into افعات
when the person addressed is of higher rank than the
writer, راع when he is of lower rank, and مراسلات when
he is of the same rank as the writer. Then follow
patterns of letters and replies, arranged according to
the rank of the persons to whom they are directed ; at
the end, an account of the different titles. Many inter-
linear Persian paraphrases of Arabic words occur in the
text, also some marginal glosses.

Munsha'ât-i-Tughrâ طغرا) la)
A collection of the writings, of a very refined and
flowery style, of Mullâ Tughrâ of Mashhad, who went
to India towards the end of Jahangir’s reign, became,
under Shâhjahân, munshi to prince Murâdbakhsh (see
above, No. 1387, 1),inwhose honour he composed several
highly finished pieces, see, for instance, ff. 34-410 sq. in
this copy (Nos. 17—21 below), and ff. 470-503 sg. in the
following copy, and spent the last portion of his life in
Kashmir, where he died some time before A. H. 1078=
A.D. 1667; comp. Rieu ii. p. 742 sq.; W. Pertsch,
p- 24; Khulâşat-alkalâm, Elliot 184, No. 43, ete. The
title, as given above, is taken from the following copy;
the present one is styled incorrectly Lab رمجموع since
by no means all the prose works of Tughrâ are found in it.
This collection begins with a rubâ'i:

Short collection of letters.

moral, philosophical, and mystical subjects, addressed
to the following persons: Muhammad Latif, Muham-

Muhammad, Mir Sayyid Mâhrüi. The ninth letter
and the twenty-fifth are directed to friends in general,
and the thirteenth bears the heading ör در بیان in-
stead of an address. This collection is ascribed to the
famous Shaikh Bâyazid Bistâmi, and styled -at the end:

character of the book is proved not only by the quite
modern contents, but by the addresses themselves (for

commentator of the mathnawi, about A. H. 1100—A.D.

poet at Fath ‘Ali Shah’s court (comp. Sir Gore Ouseley’s

Specimens of modern Persian writings in prose and
verse, intermixed with others in Arabic, Turkish, and
Hindistani, compiled probably by a court-poet of Fath
“Ali Shah, who ascended the throne of Persia A.D. 1797.
A great number of kasidas, ghazals, and other minor
poems bear the takhalluş Vashdt (that is, Mirza ‘Abd-
alwahhâb Nashât, Fath Ali Shâh's minister for foreign
affairs, who composed a diwân A. D. 1813=A. H. 1228;
see No. 1200 above); it is therefore probable that he
compiled himself the whole selection, which is extremely
valuable for the knowledge of modern Persian poetry,
rhetoric, and history, especially in the beginning of this
century.
It is divided into five parts, styled رارچ and contains
poems of different kinds, dibâdas, khutbas, letters, مه
all written, as it appears, by distinguished persons
during Fath “Ali Shah’s reign. Among others we
mention the extracts from Vath ‘Alikhdn’s diwân, and
also from the same poet’s Shâhinshâlmâma (see above,
No. 520), on fol. 27 sq., and several letters of Ashraf
Humâyün (a diwân of the same is also quoted at many
places) to the emperor Napoleon; see, for instance,

A collection of philosophical treatises, both in

with the utmost carelessness. They seem to be copied
very much at the same time, and several of them also

whole is hopelessly poor in vowels and diacritical
points, being in many places entirely destitute of
them. In the extracts, given below, we have added
the points according to the best of our understanding.

A Persian treatise on the Mirâj (Muhammad's
ascension into heaven). A special title is not mentioned,
nor the name of the author. It seems to be by the
same author as the preceding treatises, Ibn Sinâ, being
approved of, as it is said in the preface, by'Alâ-aldaulah,
the Amir of Isfahan and well-known protector of Ibn
Sina, at whose court he spent the latter part of his life.
He composed this treatise at the request of a friend,
who asked him to give a rational explanation of the
Mi'râj'; this he did after he had laid his views before
‘Ala-aldaulah and had received his approbation. Be-

Khusrau the son of Kubad, generally called Anüshirwân,
calls him to the court and tells him, as the best pupil
of Buzurjmihr, who had become old, that he possesses
some sayings of the prophet Zardusht, which are very
difficult to understand, written in Persian, not in
Pahlawi; they were sent to the Shah of Hind. This
treatise is called 3,5; )!(( Afterwards the Shah of Hind
sends it to Antishirwan, and he wants Âdharpazhüh to
explain it. He does so, brings his MS. to the king,
who approves of it and "rewards him. Then the king

quoting a passage of Zardusht’s treatise, and adding
his commentary.’
The story of the origin of this book cannot claim to
be historically true. The author was evidently a
Zoroastrian; this is sufficiently proved by the
peculiarities of the language in which the book is
composed. He and most of his co-religionists like to
represent their compositions as in some way or other
connected with Anüshirwân and his wise wazir Buzurj-
mihr, besides in most cases as being translated from
the Pahlawi. This is only an editorial form. Authors
dressed up their compositions in a garb of venerable
antiquity, in order to impress more strongly the minds
of their readers. The person of Anüshirwân was
particularly adapted for such purposes, as he was con-
sidered and esteemed as one of the brightest ap-
pearances in antiquity, not only by Zoroastrians, but
also by all Muhammadans. The present treatise is an
essay of a learned Zoroastrian, who, probably at the
time of Ibn Sina, wished to justify the Zoroastrian
system of cosmogony, etc., in the same scientific method
which was en vogue at that time, i.e. on the basis of
the doctrines of Greek philosophers.

Siyar-almulük اللوت) Ww).
A compendium of politics, containing maxims of the '
supreme government and administration of a country,
and advices for those who are entrusted with it; copiously
illustrated by historical excursions. It was composed
by Nizam-almulk, the wazir of Alp Arslan and Malik-
shah, and styled both gl سیر and سياست ob.
Aba ‘Ali al-Hasan bin ‘Ali, the first who bore the title
of Nizâm-almulk, was born A.H. 408=A.D. 1017, 1018,
and assassinated A.H. 485= A.D. 1092.
Prefixed to it there, 18 a short general introduction,
beginning: زمین sk آقريدکا Sİ وجل 5s سپاس خدایرا
ZN رو اانشست وداننده and a report of the composition
of this work, together with a table of contents, origi-
nating from a copyist of the Royal Library, Muhammad,
who edited this work. It begins thus: سبب نهادن
کات تین الوند ناش eo که سلب ils
ایس کات آن مود کد الم
The editor states that in A.H. 484 Sultân Malikshâh
ordered Nizâm-almulk, Sharaf-almulk, Majd-almulk,
and others, to compose a work on general politics, with "
special regard to the dynasty of the Saljiks. Of those
compositions offered to him, he considered that of Nizam-
almulk the best. It was divided into fifty fasls, the
headings of which are enumerated. After this (fol. 59)
he proceeds to report that Nizâm-almulk had composed
his book extempore, in thirty-nine fasls, in a summary
way, but that he afterwards, on account of that distress
which he had to endure from the enemies of the empire,
added eleven other fasls to his work. When Nizâm-
almulk was about to start for Baghdad, he entrusted
the book to Muhammad. But the latter did not publish
the book till after the death of the author, ‘till now,
where justice and religion have gained strength through
the long life of the lord of the world. God may pre-
serve this dynasty till Rl (Jae ک Gel G
قوت یافت ایزد ی این ya واسلام ببتای خداوند
(دولت را | تا قیامت بدا راد دنه وکرمه
This “lord of the world’ is no doubt identical with
the Sultan praised in the kasidah at the end (on fol.
208) sq.), viz. Malikshâh's second son, Ghiyâth-aldin
Muhammad, the brother and rival of Barkiyâruk, after
whose death he ascended the throne in A,H. 498=A.D.
1104.
The work itself begins on fol.5b: فصل اول اندر

by the copyist, Muhammad, but by somebody else who
is not mentioned. He states that Malikshâh was ex-
tremely pleased with the work of Nizâm-almulk, though
it was very short and concise; that after this the
author began to complete his work, and having done
this he made a last revision of it, adding and revising ;
that in A.H. 485, when he was going to start for Bagh-
dad, he entrusted the book to Muhammad Nasikh (the
transcriber), ordering him to get it copied nicely, so
that in case anything should happen to him his majesty
might profit by it.

A treatise on moral government and ethics, com-

fol. 1b, 1.3), at the request of the emperor Muhammad-
shah (A.H. 1131-1161 < ۸,۲۰ 1719-1748), in whose
honour it was styled اخلاق معمدشاهی (see fol. 22,
first line, and fol. 2», Il. 11 sq.) The statement of Sir
Gore Ouseley (in a note, written on the fly-leaf), that
‘it was partly composed and partly compiled from the
works of the old philosophers, A.H. 1033,’ contains an
obvious slip of the pen; instead of A.H. 1033 the date
must be A. H. 1133=A.D. 1720, 1721.

11. Khalfa mentions the book in different places,
vi. 328, 336; iv. 412. The time of the author can be
derived from a passage in the book itself. Speaking
of lightning and its influence he relates, on fol. 133°,
that once at Kâshân three children were struck by
lightning when he was present. He concludes with
saying: ‘I could not accurately state when this event
took place, but I believe it was in A.H. 475—A.D. 1082,
1083: بعکم Ul بر خاطر نیست gi pi Grist,
خمس وسبعین واربعمایه از هچرة بوده ile فی Ob
اعلم ly .است
This confirms the assumption of Dr. W. Pertsch,
that he lived in the middle (we should prefer to say
“in the latter half’) of the fifth century of the Hijrah.
See ‘Die Persischen Handschriften der Herzoglichen
Bibliothek zu Gotha,’ p. 30.
The author dedicated his work (see ff. 4? and 6») to
‘Adud-aldin ‘Ala-aldaulah Khâşş-Beg (wicls) Gar-
shâsp Husâm, the son of the king of Tabaristân, ‘Ali
bin Farâmurz bin “Alâ-aldaulah Muhammad. In
honour of this prince the book is called Nuzhat-nâma-
1-4/47. See references to this work in Rieu ii.

assistance of Salah-aldin Misa, called Kâdizâda-i-Rümi,

— According to these introductory words the author's
or compiler's name would seem to run thus: İbrâhim
bin ‘Abdallah al-kirmâni Muhammad bin Sirin; but
a comparison of this statement with the account given
in Mehren (wbere the author is called Sirâj-aldin
Muhammad bin Sirin) and in Fle seher (where Ibrâhim
of Kirmân and Ibn Sirin are ¢wo distinct names), as
well as with the list of authorities in the following
MS. of the ‘ Ta‘birnima-i-Sultani’ (Nos. 5 and 7), and
with some of the concluding words of our own copy, Oi
بن سیرین aş ,ابراهیم بن عبد الله *گرهانی shows
clearly that either Ibrahim bin ‘Abdallah and Mu-
hammad bin Sirin were joint authors, or that Ibn
Sirin alone compiled the work; the first name having
by mistake been added by the transcriber. In the
latter case we have got, perhaps, in this copy the
سیرین wl جوامع (quoted in the following MS. under
No. 5). This second conjecture seems confirmed by the
متن
و حواشی عربی *جموع اين تعبیر قادر تصنیف امام
last words of our copy: yy» کناب تصنیف ابن
ابو سعید دینوری برای yal للومتین ls القادر |
ab. و حواشئ ابو بکر جاجرمی است"
The Arabic glosses, mentioned here as taken from
the تعبیر قادری of Abü Sa'id Dinawari (or according
to the following copy under No. 2, Abi Sa'd
Nasr bin Ya'küb aldinawari) and from Abü Bakr
Jâjarmi, are mot found in this copy; they were
no doubt contained in the original MS., from which
ours is derived, but left out by the transcriber.

concluded, as we learn from 8.37 اږ 8-6۹, where the
author states the various reasons that prevented him
from continuing his task, and rendered him both un-
willing and unable to add the necessary chapter on
drugs and medicaments. Afterwards he supplied this
chapter and gave moreover as introduction to it
another supplement on the various medical uses of the
different limbs of animals. This latter supplement is

This edition is enlarged by a mukaddimah in three

of the sixteenth bab (on fol. 52%, 1. 16), just at the end
of those words with which Fraser 198 closes, a colophon
is found, stating that the copyist Muhammad bin ‘Ali
alhusaini alastarâbâdi had done with the transcription
of this portion the ıgth of Ramadan, A. H. gıg—A.D.
1513, November 18. This is a distinct proof that the
original author came only as far as this part in writing
his work, and that the rest, found in this copy, was
afterwards supplied by somebody else. It explains at
the same time the difference in the text of this and the
preceding copies. The continuator probably revised
the whole second makalah, and made additions to the
original work. The text continues after the colophon
without any interruption. The last two leaves are very

Risâla-i-hifz-alşihhah الصیت) bas ULL),
A small treatise containing rules and advices for the
preservation of health. The preface contains the follow-
ing apocryphal story: When ‘the Khalif’ ascended
the throne, he wished to have translated the books of
ancient sages on medicine, astronomy, etc. He called
the learned together, and asked who among them would
be the most competent to do the work. Husain bin
Ishak being pointed out to him, he was charged with the
task. After having finished, Husain composed at the
Khalif’s request this mukhtasar regarding the best
means of preserving health, with the view to render
superfluous the help of a physician. This story is
apparently made up from reminiscences of the Khalif
Ma’min; Husain bin Ishak is probably a mistake for
Hunain bin Ishak, the famous translator of Syriac and
areek literature at the time of Ma'mün and Muta-
wakkil, The name of the real author of this book does
not occur. For Hunain bin Ishak, see Wenrich, De
auctorum Graecorum versionibus, etc., p. 16.

The beginning of the preface is likewise different from
the usual one, and runs thus: ix» و ثنای ise? حمد
2 ذو للملالی کت خن مان سي Clea The reason
is, as we learn from the first page, that a certain Fadl
Muhammad ‘Abid ibn Jan Muhammad Sulaiman (prob-
ably the transcriber of the first part of this copy) found
the original MS., from which he copied, to be defective
at the beginning; being anxious, however, to produce
a complete copy, he added from his own foolish head,
as he modestly tells us, a few introductory lines as
compensation for the missing first leaf. The fourth
line on fol. 28 corresponds to the preceding copy,

" جوده gi ما هه From this note we learn
that in A.H. 1028=A. D. 1619, Surüri got a copy of the
Farhang-i-Jahângiri (the author of which had made
use of Surüri's work himself, as he enumerates him
among his sources), together with two other works, the
‘Shamil-allughat’ by Kara Hişâri (in Turkish), see
Rieu ii. p. 513 ; and the ‘ Tuhfat-alsa‘adat’ by Maulana
Mahmüd bin Shaikh Diyâ-aldin Muhammad, see Rieu
ii. p. 493, and No. 1671 in this Cat.; and that from these
sources he made additions to his work. Accordingly we
have to distinguish between two editions of this Farhang,
one of A. H. 1008, and an amplified second edition in or
after A.H. 1028. The present copy belongs apparently
to the latter class.

(فرهکک سنکلاح) Farhang-i-Sanglikh
A very extensive and excellent Persian dictionary
for the famous Mir ‘Ali Shir Nawâ'i's (died ۵. 6
=A. D. 1500) Caghatâi poetry, composed by Mirza
Muhammad Mahdi Khan Astarâbâdi, the ‘private
secretary and historiographer of Nâdirshâh (who was
elected king of Persia A. H. 1148—A.D. 1736, and was
assassinated by the Persians A.H. 1160—A.D. 1747).
Notwithstanding his numerous occupations, public and
private, he found time to arrange this work for the
purpose of elucidating the various difficulties, both in
words and expressions, in Nawé’i’s (that is, Mir ‘Ali
Shir’s) poems, having found that all the dictionaries
hitherto written were totally insufficient for the true
development of the sublime author's meaning ; see the
preface on fol. 1b, From the 6 preface we learn
that the compiler arranged his dictionary in this way,
that the jist letter constitutes the WLS, and that
every lest is divided into three رابواب according to the
three vowels fathah, kasrah, and dammah. Every باب
contains several (حروف see, for instance, the beginning
Vi
of the oe itself, on fol. 21>: الالف باب CLS
۳ لف وسات حرف الالف مع الالف . ۰ مع الباء
The ,حروف moreover, are subdivided into مسعات
and رجوامد the former comprising all that is قما
(analogical and regular), the latter all that is سماعی
(irregular and arbitrary); see, for instance, fol. 21»:

upon writing a shorter and more comprehensive work

composition, a conjecture supported by H. Khalfa, who
quotes ii. p. 360, No. 3259, the stlc ela, otherwise
styled ,رتفسير حسینی as a complete commentary of the
Kuran in one volume, but says with regard to the
,جواهر التفسير that it is only a commentary of the
second and third süras (ib. and ii. p. 641, No. 4274),
more correctly of the first three süras and a portion of the
fourth, as the copy in the India Office Library, No. 1381,
proves (comp. also Rieu i. p. 11), consequently unfinished
and only representing the above-mentioned first volume.

identical with our «İle مواهب and not with the larger

Traditions.
1817
A large fragment of a book of traditions, beginning
with the twelfth chapter (باب) and going down to the
fortieth, with which the work ends. The twelfth
chapter treats of the miracles, worked by saints and
holy men, but all the rest from chapter 13-40 is filled
with a detailed history of the life and works of a
certain Shaikh Murshid, based upon an endless number
of legends and traditions. From the many Arabic
verses spread over the whole work it appears to be
a translation of an original Arabic book, but we have
not been able to find any clue to its author, title, or
date of composition.

The same.
A third copy of the same translation, but in the
greatest disorder throughout, and full of gross mistakes;
the scribe was apparently an absolutely ignorant person.
The date is here still more incorrectly written than in
the preceding copies, viz. : هزار وسیصدو شانزده (1316
instead of 1616); but the Muhammadan year ır وک
corresponds to the real fact ; it is the twelfth year of
Jahângir's reign, A. H. 1025=A.D. 1616. The leaves
are all misplaced, and many of the headings as well as
the numbers of the Psalms are utterly wrong. The
proper order of the leaves is: ff. 1-74, 141-144, 137—
140, 75-136, 145-160. The order of the Psalms accord-
ing to the Hebrew original is as follows:
Psalms 1-100 = Psalms 1-100 (1-99 Vulgate) on
ff, 1 1-11.
Psalm ror (not marked here) begins on fol. 113,
first line.
Psalms 102-109 — Psalms 101-108 (101-107 Vulg.)
on ff, 1142-125", last line.
Psalm 110 begins on fol. 126%, 1. ro (here styled
Psalm ومد Hebr., 108 Vulg.), but only the first two
verses are found here; the transcriber has suddenly
jumped from this Psalm into the alphabetical Psalm 119 ;
the fourth line of fol. 1274 corresponds to verse 128 of
Psalm 119. Consequently there are entirely missing
the larger portions of Psalms r1o and 119, and the
entire text of Psalms 111-118; and all the following
comparative statements are in hopeless confusion.
Psalm 110, vv. 129—176— Psalm 110-114 (109-113
Vulg.), so styled here, on fol. 127%, 1. 6, to fol. 129), 1. To.
Psalms 120-125 = Psalms 115-120 (114-119 Vulg.),
so styled here, on fol. 129), 1. 11, to fol. 132%, l. ۰
Psalms 126 and 127 = Psalm 121 (120 Vulg.), so
styled here, on fol. 132°, last line.
Psalms 128-135= Psalms 122-129 (121-128 Vulg.),
so styled here, on fol.133", last line but one, to fol.1 464, |. 2.
Psalms 136-141= Psalms 62-67 (61-66 Vulg.), so
styled here by the incomprehensible folly of the trans-
criber, on fol. 1464, 1. 3, to fol. 151», 1. 5.

The Gospels (Jus! OLS).
The oldest and most renowned Persian translation of
the Gospels, made from the Syriac version by Yuhanna
bin-alkass (the bishop or presbyter, see fol. 135, 1. 12)
Yüsuf al-Ya'kübi, and transcribed at the request of
Khwajah Amir bin Sahm-aldaulah bin Shirâna, sur-
named Tiflisi ( 5), at Kaffa, by Simon bin Yusuf
bin Ibrahim altabrizi, who finished this copy the gth of
PERSIAN MSS. 1056
This copy is not dated, but appears to be quite a
modern transcript.
Ff. 181, ll. 18; Nasta'lik; a richly-illuminated frontispiece at
the beginning of each Gospel; each page surrounded by two
stripes, the first blue, green, and brown, sprinkled with gold, the
second green; splendid binding; size, 10; in. by 63 in.

VI. Music.
1841
Bahjat-alrüh (os yil east).
A Persian treatise on music, by ‘Abd-almu’min bin
Safi-aldin bin ‘Izz-aldin bin Muhyi-aldin bin Ni'mat
bin Kâbüs Washmgir Jurjâni. From the genealogy
given here, it is evident that the author was a lineal
| descendant of the famous Amir Shams-alma'âli Kâbüs
| bin Washmgir of Jurjân (who died A.H. 403=A.D.
| ror2) in the fifth generation; he could not possibly
have flourished therefore under the first Ghaznawide
Sultans, and yet he mentions as the sovereign, in whose
reign he compiled this little book, on fol. 2», السلطان
ملک و طول عمره ail ale غزنوی بهادر خان tear.
Perhaps Muhammad Ghüri is meant, the brother of
and co-regent with Ghiyâth-aldin Muhammad (A.H.
552-599 = A.D. 1157-1203), after whose death he
reigned as independent monarch for three years more
(assassinated A.H. 602 = A.D. 1206); he might with
some justification be called Ghaznawi (if غزنوی is not
merely a clerical error for (5,58), as he was for many
years governor of Ghazna. The Bahjat-alrüh (see this
title on fol. 2b) is mainly compiled from Greek and
the author quotes Plato and Hermes,
| Arabic sources:
| on fol. 1b; Fakhr-aldin ۲۸ د۵ Marwi, on fol. 17>; Diyâ-
aldin Muhammad Yüsuf (a contemporary, since he adds
to his name «(طول الله عمره on fol. 201; and—another
| puzzling point with regard to the time of this book’s
| composition—Khwajah “Abd-alkâdir of Marâgha, on
fol. 20% (bis). If the last-mentioned scholar should
really be identical with the author of the immediately
following work, ,چامع الاطان the composition of the
Bahjat-alrüh would needs have to be assigned to as
late a period as the middle of the ninth century of the
Hijrah, which is virtually excluded by the author’s
genealogy. We must, therefore, either assume the
existence of an earlier “Abd-alkâdir Marâghi or hold a
later reviser of the present treatise, perhaps the copyist
himself, responsible for the introduction of that name
among its authorities.

very often a number of lines struck out, in several

According to this note the author finished his work

but from the colophon, on fol. 1379, 5 فرغ من تالیف

did not really complete this copy before the rıth of
Safar, A.H. 816—A.D. 1413, May 13, that is, almost
eight years later. To account for this delay, we have
only to quote a second note on fol. 1, which runs thus:

substance and frequently in wording too. This second
edition is much more simplified than the first; its

pletely with the first nine lines in Marsh 282; but
the introduction is much shorter here than in the

This copy is very clearly and carefully written; it is
collated throughout, and on the margin are notes,
probably added by the author himself. In one instance
(on ff. 63> and 649) he has left a blank for a drawing,
which he apparently intended to fill up at a later time.

Another copy of the ,مقاصد الاطان but a little
enlarged again and brought into closer connection with
the original edition of A.H. 808-816, by restoring a
part of the mukaddimah and khâtimah of the previous
redaction. This edition is in all respects identical
with the Leyden copy, noticed above, which is dedi-
cated to the ‘Uthmani Sultan Murâd TI (a.m. 824—
855—A.D. 1421-1451). The dedication, however, is
wanting here. The beginning is rather different from
that in the two preceding copies, and runs here thus:

GAS Dhurpad-i-Nâyak Bakhshü (wb هزار دهرد بد
A collection of one thousand Dhurpads 1, composed
by Bakhshü (Bakhshava), collected by order of the
emperor Shâhjahân (A. H. 1037-1068 —A. D, 1628-
1658). On the first page: کتاب هزار دهرید نايك
بعکم شاه جهان بادشاه جمع کرده اند SARİ,
چون نفوس مقدسة جرد نهاد را میل Beginning: wld
ley. پیشتر وادرات سرور از اموری که مستازم الم
As the compositions of Bakhshava were superior to
those of any other composer, the emperor ordered that
every piece of music attributed to him should be
examined, and those which were found genuine should
be collected and written down. In the course of two
years up to two thousand Dhurpads were fixed by
writing; the best of these were selected, one thousand
in number, in four Rags and forty-six Râginis ; these
are preserved in this MS. As several of his contempo-
raries composed in his style, great care was necessary
in the examination of the songs. The preface proceeds
to give general remarks on Indian music, on the high
pertection of Bakhshava’s art and of his life. He was
born in Gwâliyâr, and was attached to the court of
Rajah Man Singh (who died about A.H. 924=A. D.
1518). Asin Gwiâliyâr music was always much culti-
vated, and most of the famous musicians came from
this country, Man Singh was also accomplished in
this art.
After the death of Rajah Man Singh, Gwâliyâr was
taken by Sikandar Lüdi (A. 11. 894-923=A. D. 1489—
1517); the Rajah’s son Bikramâjit was attached to his
suite, and received Shamsabad as jâgir. After Sikan-
dar's death the prince was attached to Ibrahim Lüdi,
and both were killed in the battle of Panipat against
Babar (A.H. 932=A. D. 1526).
Bakhshava went to Kâlinjar and attached himself
to the Zamindâr of that place, called Rajah Kirat. After
this he was asked to come to Gujarat by Bahadur Shah
(A.H. 932-943=A. D. 1526-1537), where he remained.
Comp. with these statements the introduction of the
Rag-darpan in the following copy.
Then follows some information about a musician
called Tansén ,تانسين) who flourished under Akbar,
and died A. H. 996=A. D. 1588; see Beale, Oriental
Biogr. Dict., p. 271) and his pupils.

He went to England in company with the special
envoy of the emperor Shah ‘Alam, Captain Archibald
Swinton ارجپال سونتن) Ele), to deliver a letter of
the Moghul sovereign to the King of England (George
TI), —no doubt the same letter, a copy of which is
found in the Library of the Royal Asiatic Society

emperor’s attachment to England, and requesting the
assistance of 5-6000 men, to replace him on the
throne of Hindüstân. After an account of his own life,
the author begins his valuable book with a description
of the invasions of the Portuguese and other Europeans
in Bangâlah, and proceeds then to the relation of his
travelling adventures with an explanation of the
‘compass’ (Persian sâls), which he paraphrases by

Another slightly defective copy of the same.
This is Codex A of Dr. John Lee (Hartwell Cat., No.
170, p. 56), which was lent to Dr. Dorn (according to
his own statement, found on the fly-leaf of this copy),
the 2nd of June, 1829, on his undertaking to return it
safe to Dr. Lee in the course of a twelvemonth. Dr.
Lee has added to this statement: ‘ Notwithstanding
the above arrangement, the learned Dr. Dorn, whose
departure from England is much regretted, is at liberty
to keep this manuscript for a longer time, if he pleases.
“znd June, 1829. John Lee.’
The MS. was returned to Dr. Lee on the gth of
September, 1830. Dr. Dorn had made use of it for
the second part of his translation, and the annotations
to the first, see the preface to the second part, p. ii sq.
The notes on the margin of the leaves which refer to
Codex B (i.e. the preceding copy) are by the Rev. G.C.
Renouard, who collated the two MSS. (A and B), and
returned them to Dr. Lee at Doctors’ Commons, 5th
June, 1861. Bought by the Bodleian for seven
shillings at Sotheby’s, Nov. 10, 1888.

originally to Captain Turner Macan, the editor of the

note by Dr. Rosen, on the fly-leaf, dated 2nd of June,
1834, affirms. The notes on the margins are by the
Rey. G. C. Renouard, of Swanscombe, who noticed this
MS. in the Addenda to his Hartwell Catalogue, com-
piled by him in June, 1840, where it appears as No.
170». This MS. was lent to him and returned June 5,
1861. Another note on the fly-leaf says: ‘At the
request of Dr. Dorn, communicated to Dr. Lee, in a
letter dated Kharcoff, the 31st of March, 1834, this
MS. has been delivered to Dr. Rosen, to be forwarded
to Dr. Dorn, and Dr. Dorn is at liberty to keep it until
he has translated it, and afterwards he is requested to
return it to Dr. Lee, 5 College, Doctors’ Commons,

on the fly-leaf of this MS. another interesting state-
ment, viz. “İn the Hartwell Library there isa history
of the Afghans, printed in Zurkish in October, 1729,
at Constantinople. That work, entitled Tarikhu-s-
sayyâh (i.e. the Traveller's Narrative), was translated
from the Latin of Father Jude Krusinski, a Jesuit,
whose work is entitled: “Prodromus ad tragicam ver-
tentis belli historiam.” It was printed at Lemberg
(Leopolis) in 1734, so that Ibrahim's Turkish version
must have been made from Krusinski's MSS., see the
“Relation de Dourry Efendi,” Paris, 1810. From
Brunet’s Manuel du Libraire, Paris, 1861, ii. p. 109, we
learn that this Turkish version of Krusinski’s unpub-
lished Latin ‘ Prodromus’ was already, 1731, re-trans-
lated into Latin (before the original Latin ever ap-

enlarged edition of Krusinki’s original work, entitled :
